French Canadian step dance, 2016 Percussive Dance Extravaganza

[@theotherbrian3079]

I've lived in Canada, Scotland and now in England. The tune reminds me of my Canadian youth with fiddlers Don Messer, followed by Ned Landry on the radio and TV. I love that dance evolution means that we take the best of each culture: French, Scottish, English, Irish, German, Scandanavian, etc, and maybe even native people. But keep commercialism, competitions and judges out of it. Let the people decide - it belongs to them! I love it, even though in my older age, I'm having to hang up both my leather and English wooden soled dance shoes.

lovely music and dance can we have pure candaian dance

[@theotherbrian3079]

All step dance cultures merge when immigrants merge. And tunes as well, so nothing is pure. I love that dance evolution means that we take the best of each culture: French, Scottish, English, Irish, German etc, and maybe even native people. But keep commercialism, competitions and judges out of it. Let the people decide - it belongs to them!
