The
Belfast
RSCDS
Branch
celebrated
its
Diamond
Jubilee
in
2006.
During
its
anniversary
year
members
held
a
competition to “Devise a Dance” in celebration of this milestone.
This
winning
dance
was
first
demonstrated
at
the
Anniversary
Ball
in
Belfast
City
Hall,
accompanied
by
Marian
Anderson who composed the original tune, which she has named “The City of Belfast”.
This
dance,
and
the
others
submitted,
are
published
in
a
book
with
an
accompanying
CD
by
Marian
Anderson’s
Band (
available here!
) and “City of Belfast” was selected by the RSCDS for inclusion in Book 48.
