I see Douglas's grandfather over on the right of the screen, no doubt waiting to call the square sets. We usually catch the Wednesday night dance at the Barn on our cherished annual trips to Cape Breton. The people are warm and wonderful, the scenery unsurpassed, and the music (everywhere) is brilliant. If only it weren't so far away!
The Mabou hall has seen so many great stepdancers! Anyone looking for a great cultural vacation? If so come to Mabou, Cape Breton sometime during the summer and make sure to visit the Red Shoe for a great meal or a drink at the bar!
it was a slower pace at the start because it was a strathspey, then it went into reels.. if someone's going to play for a cape breton stepdancer, they play a set of tunes similar.. no need to be scared if it will pick up pace.
This is an excellent example of both Cape Breton fiddle AND stepdance!
Really "Top Notch"! Thanks for posting!
Douglas and Margie we hope to see more of you both in the future!
WONDERFUL. , WELL DONE 👏 ✔️

was afraid this song would be too slow but, they picked it up toward the end. That lady is heck of a step-dancer. Love to see more.
Love Dougie and Margie is fantastic too! We really miss Cape Breton, our home away from home, especially Mabou! but.... we'll be back!!! :) Q.-

Great video, by the way!
Anybody knows what's the title of the tune ?

this would have been much more effective if the audience had not clapped, and the dancing feet had a microphone to pick up the rhythm of the dancing!
Not a song, it's a set of tunes
