Stepping Out

Formed in 2004 and based in the Sacramento area, Stepping Out is a group of dancers which has performed Cape Breton Step Dancing at various celebrations, multi-cultural events, and Scottish Highland Games and Celtic Festivals in Northern California.

Cape Breton Step Dancing began in the early 1700s when Gaelic-speaking settlers from Scotland’s Western Isles and Highlands started arriving in Cape Breton, the island portion of Canada’s Province of Nova Scotia. This form of Celtic hard shoe dancing, which is percussive and rhythmic, is traditionally done in a kitchen-like setting among friends and family. Passed down from parent to child, even today there is no formalization of this dance form.

KVMR Celtic Festival

2 days ago

Community Radio KVMR's Annual Celtic Festival is our longest running and best known community event. Held each fall at the end of September, this signature festival has continued to grow over its 25-year history and attracts thousands of music lovers, Renaissance Faire devotees, vendors, fans of Celtic lore, and supporters of Community Radio to the beautiful Nevada County Fairgrounds in the Sierra Foothills. Since the arrival of the Coronavirus Pandemic early in 2020 and out of an abundance of caution and care for our staff and supporters, KVMR has twice had to postpone our Celtic Festival. When conditions have seemingly improved, we've begun planning smaller-scale Celtic productions only to have to withdraw those plans with the arrival of subsequent variants. As the world and our Foothills Community navigates the highly contagious Omicron variant, KVMR has again had to make the unwelcome but necessary decision to postpone our Celtic Festival, this time for 2022. As disappointed as we are not to gather with all of you again this autumn, we know that this is the best decision for all of us right now. The station's Board and Staff continue to closely monitor national and local health requirements and KVMR stands ready to resume festival planning as soon as conditions allow us to safely do so. We remain hopeful that an abbreviated Celtic event may still be possible for 2022. To all of our staff and volunteers, technical contractors, business supporters, longtime festival goers, regular performers, guild members, marketplace vendors, and KVMR members, we'd like to thank you for your understanding, patience, and cooperation. KVMR remains fully committed to our Celtic Festival and to reprising our landmark event at the earliest and safest opportunity. "Come for the Music ~ Stay for the Magic!"
