Cape Breton Dance
What is a Cape Breton Dance?
It’s a fun and welcoming dance gathering. You will learn the Inverness set which is only 3 sets of moves. You can do it! There will be a caller to help you learn the dances. No partner required. It’s called a square dance but is usually a circle of 8 or more people. Here’s a link to a video showing some of the moves. You can walk or fancy step the dance! You’ll see in this video. All you need is flat shoes, and your enthusiasm.

Dinner Theatre: The Grinch Who Stole Glace Bay
The Grinch Who Stole Glace Bay!
Every b’y down in Glace Bay liked Christmas a lot, but The Grinch b’y who lived just north of Glace Bay - did not. The Grinch hated Christmas - the whole Jesus season. Now, please don’t ask why; no b’y quite knows the reason. It could be his pit socks were pulled on too tight, or maybe Dougall MacDougall’s lights were too bright? But I think that the most likely reason of all, may have been that he lost the minor hockey 50/50 draw.
Come join the Grinch and the gang as he stops Christmas from coming to Glace Bay with a bang!

Celtic Colours International Festival - Còmhla Cruinn: Gathered Together
w/ Cathy Ann MacPhee, Màiri Chaimbeul, Mary Jane Lamond, Rose Morrison, Eric Angus Whyte, Dara Smith-MacDonald, Aidan & Cameron MacNeil, Iain MacQuarrie, and Gerard Beaton
Gaelic culture runs deep in Christmas Island (Eilean Na Nollaig), where the traditions have been kept up, treasured, and passed on for generations. Through the efforts of local organization Comunn Féis an Eilein, the community has been active in presenting concerts, céilidhs, workshops and other learning opportunities to help preserve and promote the Gaelic language and culture in the area. Gaelic will be front-and-centre again here today with celebrated Gaelic singers and tradition-bearers Mary Jane Lamond and Cathy Ann MacPhee. Còmhla cruinn means “gathered together” and Christmas Island’s long history of being a gathering place for Cape Breton Gaels will continue with this concert featuring songs sung in Gaelic and English, pipes and fiddle tunes, and Cape Breton step dancing. Enjoy the scenic drive alongside the Bras d’Or Lake as you make your way to Christmas Island today where these fine performers from Scotland and Cape Breton will present an afternoon of traditional and Gaelic-influenced music and culture.
