In the event of wet weather the afternoon dancing will be held indoors in two separate halls. Both venues will have live music. Gateways School has a performing arts centre with excellent spectator facilities. The junior teams and a small number of adult teams will use this. A full programme, including demonstrations, will be danced and Ian Slater will provide the music. |

All other teams will dance a full programme in the sports hall to George Meikle and the Lothian Band.. | |
The White Rose Festival is planned as an outdoor event. However, this being England, we can never guarantee that the weather will be kind to us and we may be forced indoors.

Please note: no food is allowed in the Performing Arts Centre. |
