Afternoon Tea
Sara learned Scottish country dancing as a child in Toronto in
Grace Harris' classes, and danced enthusiastically between the
ages of 6 and 10. She returned to SCD as an adult when she
moved with her husband, Russell, to St. Catharines and they
were looking for a fun way to meet people in their new city. SCD
has been a part of their lives ever since! She qualified as a
teacher in 2013, and has been teaching classes for both adults
and children in St. Catharines since that time. (Children have
more energy, but adults are much less wiggly.) Off the dance
floor, she teaches courses in Canadian Studies and Canadian
Popular Culture at Brock University. She has an 8-year-old
daughter, Hannah, who loves to dance and is learning to tell her
right from her left.
Jean Noble – Toronto, Ontario
Jean Noble danced a little Scottish Country Dancing in Scotland,
Singapore and Montreal, but it wasn't until she came to Toronto
in 1959 that she became "hooked" on it and joined the Royal
Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS). She commenced to
dance with various social groups and demonstration teams in
Toronto.
For many years, Jean and her husband Michael, also a Scottish
Country Dancer, were very involved with the Perth Pavilion
during Toronto's multi-cultural Caravan festival.
Jean also performed in comedy shows, which were part of the
Scottish cultural scene.
After the birth of her two daughters, Jean began teaching
children' dance classes, which she continued doing for 12 years.
An adult dance group that she started in 1975, Hillcrest
Group, is still flourishing and its members support many of the
Toronto Association
RSCDS functions.
Jean served on the RSCDS Toronto Association committee and
taught classes at all levels of expertise. She has also taught
workshops in both Canada and the USA.
Jean taught the Teacher Candidate class, which gave her great
pleasure, because the successful new teachers spread the joy of
dancing to others.
In 2008, Jean was awarded the RSCDS Scroll of Honour.
On December 15, 2015 Jean received the RSCDS Toronto
Branch award at the party celebrating the 40th anniversary of her
teaching the Hillcrest Class.
