Each year during the Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous - our winter 'kick yer heals up' festival - a Queen is crowned. This is the 50th year of the festival and to honour all of the Queens that have been crowned, a special dinner and evening of entertainment was planned and all of the Queens and their partners were invited - and quite a large number were able to attend. As you probably know I have been learning to Line Dance - this is my second year. This year we were asked to perform at this event. We did three dances - the first was a waltz to Hank Karr's "Waltz of the Yukon", the second was quite a bit more lively and the third was choreographed for Hello Dolly, a song which was chosen to honour another frequent and famous entertainer (who was to follow our number), Gillian Campbell, pictured below.
Hands behind our backs mean we were dancing the waltz. The audience loved the fact we were dancing to the music of a well known Yukoner.
Our next two dances were quite a bit more lively and fun. Again, the audience clapped along to the music and seemed to really enjoy watching us dance.
It was fun. And I was surprised at the response were received from the audience. Lots and lots of appreciative clapping. A steady stream of people praised our performance and one even asked where we were going to be performing next!
