DST - ROIS Dance School

'The RSCDS affiliated group ROIS (Rome Irish and Scottish) Dance School, based in Rome, organised a Scottish and Irish dance party to celebrate the end of classes, with live traditional music by The Shire.

ROIS Dance School expressed its dual Scottish and Irish soul thanks to the performances of the students of the Scottish country dancing, Highland Dancing, Irish Step and Céilí Dancing courses: students of all ages and levels, from children to seniors, from beginners to experts.

As for Scottish country dancing, the class, prepared by RSCDS Part 1 certified teacher Giorgia De Luca presented a combination of strathspey, reel and jig.

The audience was pleasantly surprised when they were involved by Ms. De Luca in a jig, “The riverside”: simple movements and figures with which friends and relatives of the Roman dancers could immerse themselves in the festive and fun atmosphere of a Scottish ceilidh.'
