Tartan Thistle Dance Festival
Started in 2023, this group of volunteers was formed to ...
a. To promote Scottish Highland Dancing in the local community.
b. To manage events hosted by the Tartan Thistle Dance Festival (TTDF).
c. To offer competitive opportunities in Scottish Highland Dancing.
d. To uphold the Royal Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing (RSOBHD)’s Code of Ethics, ensuring a duty of care to all dancers and operating in a fair and equitable manner.
We run as a not-for-profit, volunteer, community group.
One of our key objectives is to offer more opportunities for dancers of all ages to compete and perform. We were able to have adult "& Over" age groups at the competitions as well as choreography for both Pre-Premier and Premier. In the last competition, we introduced a demonstration dance that highlighted the New Zealand syllabus Hornpipe technique.
