Hosts
Anita Wilson is a fully qualified RSCDS teacher (2016) with a lifetime of rhythm in her steps.
While she leads her own weekly classes in Ilminster and guest-teaches throughout the region, Anita is perhaps best known for her vibrant themed workshops and biannual dances.
Her technical foundation is incredibly diverse, stretching back to a childhood spent Ballroom dancing before exploring Square, Clog, Sequence, Line and English Folk dancing.
This breadth of experience makes her an exceptionally patient and perceptive instructor. Anita places a special emphasis on the "heart" of Scottish Country Dancing: perfect phrasing, attentive covering and the social etiquette that ensures a great atmosphere on the dance floor!
