8th July 2023 with Susan MacFadyen and her Band
Here are the details of the dances for the afternoon and evening programme, inluding the demonstration and the Highland dances. Teams can dance as many dances as they like and “mix and match” between the adult and junior/beginner programmes.
In the afternoon (1.30 – 5.00), the massed dancing will be interspersed with demonstration dances and Highland dances. Full details of how it all fits together will be published below in the run up to the Festival.
