Hewitson, Tommy

Dance teacher and MC operating at Lowick Bridge, Cumbria in the late 1800s.

Really an MC rather than a dancing master.  He ran through the dances before they were done at local village “hops”.  His repertoire included:


Cottagers
Eight Reel
La Vasoviana
Lancers
Quadrilles
Polka
Schottische
Six Hand Reel
Three Hand Reel
Waltz
Waltz Cotillion
