Topic: Quadrille

The Cayman Islands National Museum hosted a free class to teach Cayman's traditional dance, the quadrille on 10 Jan.

Quadrille lessons, maypole dancing and thatch work demonstrations were only some of the “old-time thing” displaying the sights and smells at George Town Primary School last week. Students and teachers got a chance to learn about Caymanian culture from visiting local heritage ambassadors.

If you ask most students today what their favorite music is, it’s likely none will immediately say “Quadrille.” But throw in a few old-time instruments, some catchy lyrics and one special music teacher, and you just might have children (and their parents, too), loving traditional Caymanian music.
