11th July 2026 with the Màrtainn Skene Trio

The feedback on the integrated programme of massed dances has been very positive and so will be retained. The dances will be paired together in degree of difficulty, and some pairs of dances will be aimed at the junior teams and beginners, while other pairs will be more challenging and aimed at experienced dancers. Team leaders can select as few or as many dances as they wish, either singly or as pairs,  from the programme to suit the dancers in their team.

In the afternoon (1.30 – 5.00), the massed dancing will be interspersed with the demonstration dances and Highland dances. Full details of how it all fits together are published below.
