Hosted by Old Dominion University’s Office of Intercultural Relations, the SST is coming back to its roots! A university campus can feel like its own town, with each college, club, and department feeling like a neighborhood in its own right. Our Old Dominion University 'town' is ready to welcome our Monarchs back to the neighborhood by hosting a Unity Block Party on Kaufman Mall on September 10th from 12-2pm to celebrate and bring together ODU's many unique communities. It will be a time for students, faculty, and staff, together with their families and friends, to socialize and enjoy music, performances, creative activities, and food.

Kaufman Mall will be transformed into a celebration full of festivities, activities, and fellowship. Each participant has embraced the spirit of what it means to be a member of a diverse and inclusive community and is eager for you to experience a memorable day. The SST will be having a table with information available to the Monarch Community.

We’re back from out summer recess! We’re back from out summer recess!

Dave Livingston, with assistance from Barb, will detail visits to Scottish sites where his ancestors lived, worked, and prospered. The presentation will include photos and histories of locations and their noble residents, including Linlithgow Palace, Stirling Castle, Edinburgh Castle, Dunfermline Abbey and Palace, Callendar House, and Livingston Peel.

THIS IS NOT AN SST EVENT. However, we have been asked to share this by our members and some folks with the British Isles Dancers of Norfolk, VA.

Here’s what they have to say: Is your Significant Other a fan of the movies Bridgerton, Sanditon, or those based upon the Jane Austen books? If so, you will find this form of dance familiar. Is he/she a fan of Revolutionary War era movies and TV shows such as Outlander, John Adams, Turn, and the Patriot? English Country Dance (ECD) was the preferred social recreation of the time. Back in the day, all people; men and women, rich or middle class, civilian and military, had some sort of competence with this form of dance.

Would you like to learn to dance like they did back then? There is a place here in the Hampton Roads area where you can learn it for little cost and have fun while you are learning - the British Isles Dancers of Norfolk's weekly get-togethers.

The get-togethers are held at 7:30 PM on Tuesday evenings at Royster Memorial Presbyterian Church, 6901 Newport Avenue, Norfolk, VA. Your first visit with us is FREE so you can see if you like it and after that it is only $3.00/week/person ($2.00 for members of the Tidewater Community Dance Council).

Bring a partner if you have one or, if not, just show up and we will be glad to partner with you. Everyone is welcome regardless of their level of English Country Dance experience (or lack thereof). Whether you are an experienced English Country Dancer looking for a new "home", or someone that is interested in learning what it is all about, make plans to join us EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT for the fun, and socializing at the British Isles Dancers of Norfolk's weekly English/Scottish Country Dance get-togethers instead of just hanging out watching movies on the streaming services.

We look forward to seeing you Tuesday night!

This month, we are excited to have the British Isles Dance Group speak at our May General Meeting! They are so excited to tell us all about dancing and even teach us some moves. Here’s a preview of what they’ll discuss: Our "British Isles Dance Group" meets every Tuesday to dance socially - and we focus more on enjoyment than on technique. Originally we did a mix of English Country and Scottish Country dances, but it is predominantly English these days. English is done to a walking step, as opposed to Scottish, which is a definite dance step, but both have similar dance figures. The dances are done in long lines of couples, with each couple progressing down the line with each iteration. The dances have publication dates from 1640 to today. The Scottish Country Dance Society was formed in 1923, and became the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society in 1951. It has published books of dances since 1924.

No event, just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Beltane!
