Watch RSCDS Richmond branch in action!
Check out some videos of the Branch demonstrating dances, including those devised by its members.
"The Lass of Richmond Hill" can be considered to be our branch dance. It was devised by our Honorary President, Fiona Turnbull. Here it is, being danced in class by some of our class members, with Fiona as first man.
Crib and diagram: here or here.
The dance is also published in the RSCDS Second Graded Book, with full dance instructions, music and recording.
"Richmond's Platinum Celebration" was was commissioned by the Richmond Branch to celebrate our 70th anniversary in 2022. We think it may be the only dance to include a "7" (as well, of course, as an "0"!). It is danced in the video by Richmond Branch class members, to the orignal tune.
"Jump for Joy" was devised by one of our class members, Anna Smith, for one of our teachers, Joy Bradshaw. The set in this video is made up of ladies from the Richmond branch (including Joy and Anna!), and girls from Joy's children's class.
Recording also available - if you're interested in using it to try the dance yourselves, please contact us.
Richmond Branch class members recently joined up with the Mowden Junior School children's class to dance "The Flying Scotsman", in honour of centenary of the famous train in 2023.
Our video was included - along with those of hundreds of other dancers from all around the world - in the RSCDS's very special celebration of 100 years of both the society and the locomotion, which you can view here.
With our thanks to Head of Steam - Darlington Railway Museum [now known as Hopetown] for welcoming us to film there.
"Welcome to Applegarth" is a jig devised for our former Branch secretary and chairman of many years, Jan and Geoff Robinson. Danced here by Richmond Branch members and friends, the dance is named after Jan and Geoff's lovely home, where for many years we enjoyed going for our Summer Social each July.
Sheet Music (please note a different tune was used for the video, as no recording of the set tune was available)
Full dance instructions available soon.
