He has launched dance classes\, trained teachers\, coached performing groups\, and adjudicated festivals. \nA retired research scientist\, Bruce is always looking for new ways to understand and present ideas for the dancer. Whenever he presents workshops\, he weaves many conceptual threads besides dance technique and choreography into his lessons. Musicality\, sociability\, and physiology are his current favorites. People often say they come away with a different way to experience and think about dance. Occasionally he holds a weekend teachers’ class that also draws high praise. He continues to run a bi-weekly English dance class in the Bay Area. In the recent past\, he was the president of the Country Dance and Song Society. With invitations to teach at many festivals and dance camps each year\, he has taught workshops all around the United States and in the United Kingdom\, Canada\, Japan\, and Australia. \nAlan Thwigg\nWith Scottish heritage on both sides of his family\, Alan developed a love for Scottish traditional music at an early age.  His parents danced with the Reel & Strathspey Club that preceded the formation of the San Francisco Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. They often took him to the Highland games and pipe band concerts as a child. \nAlan discovered Scottish Country Dancing as a college student\, amongst other dance forms such as ballroom and international folk.

He has served as a guest instructor at weekend workshops across North America and tutored candidates for teaching exams.  He also continues to participate in Scottish Country Dance performances\, chiefly with the Red Thistle Dancers.  Favorite memories include choreographing and performing a sword dance for the San Francisco Opera as well as teaching and performing in Norway\, the Czech Republic\, and Russia. \nIn addition to Scottish country dancing\, Alan is an accomplished Highland dancer and performs frequently in public. He does both Scottish country dance and Highland dance with the Red Thistle Dancers\, a performance group based in Palo Alto. Alan frequently travels to Scotland to attend dance training schools\, and broaden his knowledge of the culture.
