Danns a' Rathaid
(Dance at the Crossroads)
Cleasaichean: Elspeth Turner is Màiri Nic’IlleMhoire
Tha Anna a' fuireach leatha fhèin agus 's ann ainneamh a bhios i a' bruidhinn ri duin' eile, ach tha rud a' tachairt a tha toirt oirre càirdeas a thogail le tè ris a bheil ceangal tòrr nas dlùithe aice na bha i a' smaoineachadh. 'S e sgeulachd chianail, dhuilich a tha seo mun strì a th' aig dannsair òg ann a Lunnainn sna 50an. A' snìomh ri chèile cuspairean leithid miann faighinn air adhart, sinnsireachd agus sgaradh, tha dàimh ris nach robh dùil a' togail ceann am measg ceòl àlainn Swan Lake.
