Scottish Country Dance Society

Invites You to a
Capital Weekend
The Washington Branch of the RSCDS welcomes you to
the 24th annual Capital Weekend! We will be returning
to the Convention Center at Cherry Hill Park. Cherry
Hill has a wonderful sprung hardwood dance floor, easy
access, and ample parking. Late March is a beautiful
time in the Washington, DC area (we hope the cherry
blossoms will be in bloom!) and our guest teacher and
musicians promise to make this a very special weekend.
We begin with our Welcome Dance on Friday night. On
Saturday we offer a general dance class taught by our
guest teacher. A catered lunch that offers a great
opportunity to socialize will be followed by a Ball
Review in the afternoon. And, of course, we finish
Saturday with our Capital Ball. On Sunday all are
invited to a potluck brunch hosted by John and Joan
MacLeod. On Sunday afternoon please join us for a
special class taught by our guest teacher to complete
our weekend! Directions to the Brunch will be available
at the Ball.

The Music
Terpsichore with Elke Baker on fiddle, Liz

Dance on Friday and for our Capital Ball on
Saturday evening. Terpsichore is a well known
Scottish country dancing musical group and is
highly regarded by Scottish country dancers and
musicians alike. Great music and fun are
guaranteed!
The Teacher
We are delighted to have David Queen from
Lancashire, England as our invited dance teacher.
David comes from a very musical family and
started dancing at the age of 5 under the tutelage of
both his Mother and Father. His Mother was a
piano teacher and his Father a piper and dance
teacher who is best known for devising the dance
Angus MacLeod. David qualified as a teacher in
1993 and has inspired a love of music and dance in
others since then.
David has taught regular branch classes in the
north of England, workshops around the world,
and at RSCDS schools in St. Andrews, Pitlochry,
New Zealand, and TAC. He has received
invitations to teach in Russia, the USA, Canada,
and across Europe. He is a dance devisor and
composer of Scottish music and has published his
own book of dances as well as providing dances for
other publications. His music has been recorded
by his band, Scottish Measure, where David plays
the fiddle and by other bands as well.
David’s “day time job” is a building services
engineer where he is able to travel the world.
David enjoys promoting good Scottish country
dancing technique while ensuring that everyone is
having fun! He looks forward to Capital Weekend
and seeing many friends again!
