Добавлен 10 фев 2024
This channel displays videos relevant to the Hunter Valley Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. The Hunter Valley Branch covers Scottish Country Dance activities for all areas north of greater Sydney in New South Wales (Australia) up to the Queensland border.
Work in Progress - Videos created before 2024 by the Hunter Valley Branch were formerly uploaded to a different RUclips Channel (hosted by the Newcastle Irish Set Dancers) and these will be relocated here.
In 2024 the Hunter Valley Branch published "The Second Hunter Valley Book of Dances" with 13 interesting and some quite challenging dances written by branch members. We have a playlist with videos demonstrating each of the dances in this new book [tinyurl.com/HVBookOfDances].
