DANCE NOTES
~ Edie O’Donnell
Photos by Paul O’Donnell
Rain glittered on the pavement, but did not
dampen the spirits of our GWCC members and
friends as we gathered at Cherry Hill Park for our
annual New Year’s Eve celebration. The path to the
door glowed warmly with luminaria, and the hall
sparkled with white lights and glowing trees. Our
attendees looked wonderful, many in tuxedos and
glittery dresses! The tables sparkled, too, with
confetti and silver and gold accessories. The
decorations were arranged by Jane Twomey, whose
special attention to detail always creates a magical
environment. Our attendees worked some dessert
magic as well; the buffet covered three tables, and
truly held something for everyone!
The Old Bay Ceili
band, nine strong
with regulars and
guests, also
sparkled, giving us
their very best
reels, polkas and
waltzes. Awesome
music and good
friends…what more could we ask for!
We danced a lot of old favorites, with the first set
including the Clare Plain Set, the North Kerry and the
Connemara Reel. After an attack on that bountiful
dessert table, we
began the second
set with the 16
Hand Reel,
followed by the
Cashel, the Clare
Mazurka and a
"just before
midnight" waltz.
At midnight, we counted down the old year, and
celebrated the new year with champagne,
noisemakers, and hugs and kisses all around. We
finished off the night with a Paris Set and a spirited
Clare Lancers to end the evening on a perfect note!
In Step
As we get closer to St. Patrick’s Day, our outreach
events at area seniors' residences begin. If you have
never participated in these performances, which are
open to all members, and would like to join us, see Edie
O’Donnell or Dixie Baker for details. A practice
session is scheduled prior to the events.
And if that’s not enough dancing for you, don’t forget
to come to the GWCC dance classes at the Frost Center
in Rockville on Thursday nights. The new session
begins January 7, so shake off the winter blues with
some spirited dancing! Basics at 7 PM; experienced
from 8:00 until 9:30. See Paul O’Donnell for details.
SET OF THE MONTH
The Set Dance for January is the Aran Set which
was recorded by Seamus O. Mealoid on Inis Mor, the
largest of the Aran Islands, off the coast from Galway.
Connie Ryan taught this set at the Cecil Sharp House,
London, in 1992. Mick Mulkerrin also taught the set at
the Solihull workshop in June 1995.
The reel step is the same as is danced in the South
Galway set with only the merest hint of a 'heel' and a
little lift, though much less pronounced than in the
Clare style. The Polka step is also very flat. Ann Marie
Breheny will be teaching it at the January 24th Ceili and
dance notes are on page 10.

BEV’S BEST BETS
~ Bev Ricks
P.S. I Love You: A Chick Flick with a Little
Something Extra for the Guys
There’s no getting around the fact that P.S. I Love
You is a chick flick. Guys might like the Irish music.
And, they might enjoy the County Wicklow scenery.
If they like skinny women, they might also enjoy the
scenes where Hilary Swank prances around in her
underwear. Beyond that though, this love story is
many women’s ideal way to spend a rainy (or snowy)
afternoon, accompanied by an afghan and a good cup
of tea.
Holly Kennedy (Swank) and her Irish husband,
Gerry (Gerard Butler), are young marrieds living in
In Step
Devastated by her loss, Holly can barely cope until,
mysteriously, she begins to get messages from Gerry.
Gerry doesn’t appear or talk to Holly. But he had some
time to prepare for his death, so he planned various
activities, accompanied by written notes, for Holly,
designed to help her go on after he died. There’s her
30th birthday for which he pre-ordered a cake that
comes with taped instructions for celebrating.
Eventually there’s a trip to Ireland, so she can visit his
parents and the land where they fell in love. While her
friends and family worry that Gerry’s letters, all
including the post script “I love you,” will keep Holly
tied to the past, they actually help give her the direction
she needs for a future without him.
While P.S. I Love You is a feel good movie, parts of it
are implausible, predictable, and even cliché. For
someone who has employment woes, Holly dresses
very stylishly. The notes show up exactly when she
needs them. There’s a guy who wants to “make it
better” for her. And Gerry’s wake is held in the bar
owned by her mother (Kathy Bates). However, parts of
it are right on, especially when her friends’ lives move
on and they marry or become pregnant, while she’s still
stuck in her grief.
Originally set in Ireland, screenwriter/director
Richard LaGravenese adapts the story for an IrishAmerican audience; the soundtrack includes music by
Flogging Molly and the Pogues. The original novel by
the same name was written by fresh-out-of university
Cecilia Ahern, daughter of Bertie Ahern, the former
Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister). In a DVD bonus
feature Ahern discusses how she has always written, but
was driven to pen her international best seller during
nocturnal periods of inspiration. Even though the 2007
film got mostly mediocre reviews, I’d give it a thumbs
up.

The FSGW Midwinter Festival is a family-friendly
extravaganza of music, dance, stories, workshops, and
crafts. Held the first Saturday in February -- which is
Saturday, February 6, 2010. The annual mid-winter
shindig known as the FSGW Mini-Fest will be held at
the Takoma Park Middle School, 7611 Piney Branch
Road, from noon until 10:30 pm. The Mini-Fest
provides a wonderful opportunity to beat the winter
blues, visit with friends and neighbors, and be part of
some of the finest music and dance that the Washington
area has to offer!
Once again this year FSGW features two
simultaneous all-day dance tracks and seven workshop
and performance sites, so find that calendar and save
the date! Tickets may be purchased through the website
in advance, or at the door. Schedule, ticket information
