The Albany Class Invites You To Dance!

Jen Schoonover is a dancer and choreographer. She teaches movement principles, improvisation, and dance pedagogy at Bridgewater State University, and specializes in Scottish dance modalities including Cape Breton Step, Cèilidh, Highland, and Scottish Country dancing. A book she cowrote with Mats Melin, Dance Legacies of Scotland: The True Glen Orchy Kick, detailing the history of Scottish percussive dancing, was recently published by Routledge. Another publication resulting from collaborative research into Frederick Hill’s 1841 dance manuscript with Mats and the late Colin Robertson is in the works. This past year, Jen experienced competitive Scottish Country Dancing for the first time as a member of the first-ever North American Team attending the Newcastle Festival.
