LESLIE
SCOTT has been folk dancing ever since she first got hooked in gym
class. Living— and – dancing — in various places around the Midwest in
the 1970’s and ‘80’s, she built up a large repertoire of dances and
began teaching in her local international folk dance groups. Since
1989 she has lived in Columbus, Ohio, where she is a core member of the
Columbus Folk Dancers (CFD) and does as many other kinds of dancing as
she can fit into her schedule, including contra, Scandinavian, and
vintage. She teaches regularly at CFD and has taught at Tri-City
(Dayton-Columbus-Cincinnati) workshops and at SNOPA, an annual winter
folk dance weekend in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Over the years Leslie
has learned dances at numerous folk dance workshops and camps, and in
the 1990’s she augmented her knowledge of one of her favorite folk
cultures by going on several trips to Bulgaria. Besides dancing, she
plays international folk dance music with two Columbus bands,
Hajd(Bulgarian/Macedonian) and Mixed Bag(eclectic), and regularly plays
recorder for the Columbus English Country Dancers.
