13th July 2024 with Ewan Galloway
Following the positive feedback and success of opening the junior programme to all dancers this year we have decided to offer an integrated programme for 2024. Dances are paired together in degree of difficulty and some pairs of dances are aimed at the junior teams and beginners, and other pairs are more challenging for the experienced dancers. Team leaders can select as few or as many pairs of dances from the programme to suit the dancers in their team. If you have any questions please contact the WRF committee. Teams can dance as many dances as they like.
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 will be published below in the run up to the Festival.
