This dance was devised by Anne Thorn in June 2007 to celebrate the life of Mrs Dorothy Capstick who was Assistant Secretary of Helensburgh and District Branch of the RSCDS and secretary of both the Tuesday SCD Club and the Thursday Ladies SCD Club. For over 35 years Dorothy was an active dancer and supporter of SCD in the local area. Even though her husband did not dance he became Dorothy’s “secretary” due to his expertise with computers.
Bars 9-16 represent the support her husband Gordon gave to Dorothy in all of her
secretarial roles.
Bars 17-24 represent the close links Dorothy made with other dancers in the local area
and further afield whilst she was out dancing and Gordon was left at home.
Bars 25-32 – it is traditional in the Helensburgh area to finish off the programme with
a dance containing a circle.
