In this online class you can learn strathspey, jig and reel steps, from the convenience of your own home! Sophie Stephenson is a dance artist, teacher and performer from Fort Augustus. Sophie specialises in a close to the floor style of percussive step dance which has origins in Scotland, although the tradition was carried forward by Scottish emigrant communities in Eastern Canada. Sophie is particularly interested in the rhythmical relationships between language, music, song and dance and seeks to explore and expand the boundaries of traditional dance across genres within performance, theatre, film and eduction. Her passion for the traditional arts is rooted in a Highland upbringing and participation in cèilidh dances, music sessions and local fèisean from a young age. Sophie has performed and taught at festivals throughout Scotland and internationally with artists including Dàimh, Calum Stewart and Capercaillie. Sophie has also developed TradBeats, a project which brings together the core elements of voice and movement through rhythm, with puirt-à-beul (Gaelic mouth music), beatboxing, step dance and body percussion.Website:www.sophabulous.co.ukSocial media links:www.facebook.com/SophabulousStepswww.twitter.com/SophStepDancerwww.instagram.com/SophieStepDance www.youtube.com/SophabulousStepsVideo links:Gaelic Mouth Music &amp; Step Dance: https://youtu.be/MkKoG9as4ZA Accordion &amp; Step Dance: https://youtu.be/1s5Nyr_e-AEFiddle &amp; Step Dance: https://youtu.be/au3dZcLiPoAPipes &amp; Step Dance: https://youtu.be/tMnT1XA78EsTradBeats: https://youtu.be/I-lsbjWXbs8Find out more about the Inverness Music Festival and our exciting online 2021 programme via http://www.invernessmusicfestival.org/
