A whopping 17 dancers from the Hamburg group joined another great Potters Pairs Weekend at Hof Oberlethe! Host Martin outdid himself again with the choice of ball dances containing obscure figures like the Quadruple Figure of Eight, Set and Link for Four Couples, or the Roulette. Despite initial concerns it was great fun, and the ballroom was packed with smiling dancers from Germany, UK, the Netherlands, France and Portugal. Musicians Màrtainn Skene and Kev Lees had to work overtime with so many encores!
Nice one : )

Nach zwei Jahren ohne größere Tanzzusammenkünfte wurde das Potter's Pairs von den Mitgliedern der Hamburger Gruppe sehnsüchtig erwartet. Endlich wieder ein Ball, für den man das Programm studieren und sich schön anziehen konnte! Tolle Workshop-Kurse, köstliches Essen, eine Grand Promenade, mitreißende Musik und Scottish Country Dancers aus vielen Orten, die zum gemeinsamen Tanzen, Klönen und Feiern zusammenkamen. Wir sehen uns vom 5. bis 7. Mai 2023.

Teacher Linda Henderson was great fun - here her comment "Wasn’t it a blast?! It was a privilege to teach the Course and I loved working with Ian again; first time working with Adam and we all had great fun."
She introduced us to a whole spectrum of dances with new or altered formations from across the pond accompanied wonderfully by Ian Robinson and Adam Brady.
