Camberley Reel Club is a Scottish Country Dancing club which meets at 8 p.m.
every Tuesday from September to May at St. Paul's Church
Hall, Church Hill, Camberley, Surrey.
On Tuesday evenings we organise a mix of instruction, social dancing, and
party events where we replace our normal half time cuppa with a 'bring a plate'
buffet.

subscription of £1.50 for each evening you attend. Alternatively, if you only
come along occasionally, you can pay £2.50 for each evening as a visitor.

Programme of Events and
Featured Dances 2008 - 2009We feature a different set of dances each year so that club members gradually
become familiar with them and can dance them with relatively little instruction.
Each
featured dance will be taught thoroughly on an instruction evening, and then MCs
at the next few social evenings will be asked to include it in their programmes
to reinforce what we have learned.

Dance
Repertoire
For 2008-09 we have introduced a
Dance Repertoire of popular dances in the South East of England, categorised by
difficulty, from which MCs will be invited to draw the majority of their
programmes.

 Did
you know…?
The
pousette is one of the most common methods of progression. It is found
in the dances of the late 18th and early 19th century chiefly, and seems to
have been the forerunner of the waltz. Its name comes from the French “pousser”,
to push, and that to a certain extent describes the movement of the man in
this formation. When the [R].S.C.D.S was formed, this form of
progression had lost its original, dignified shape. Probably the
introduction of the waltz had affected it, for instead of the traditional
two-hand hold, partners joined as for a waltz or polka and danced round each
other with a kind of hop waltz step. This led to untidiness and lack of
control, and even to jazzing. The Society returned to the old form of
pousette as it is done today.
