Step dance is a form of percussive dance; although its origins lie in Scotland, it also can be found in Cape Breton, where Scottish emigrant communities settled. Why not come and try your hand (or feet!) at learning a few steps with Pan Celtic Traditional Dance Champion Joy Dunlop. No dancing experience is necessary but make sure to bring with you a pair of hard soled shoes and a bottle of water.
