Dancing Workshop



Yesterday Ashley, Ceilidh, Greer and Brodie all took part in a workshop with Rachel McLaggan, former world champion.

Ceilidh was very excited to have Rachel as a teacher as she is a friend of Casey's.

All of the girls worked very very hard.

I have always dreamed of dancing in Scotland. One of my long term goals has always been to dance in the country in which Highland Dancing originates. Until August last year, that is all it was for me, a dream and a hope that someday it would happen. Without the help of the BBM Scholarship that might still have been the case. On the 4th of September 2008 I received a much anticipated email from OzScot Australia, informing me that I had been accepted as 1 of the 45 dancers to represent Australia in the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2009.

The audience sang along! After a yummy dessert we moved along to the second bracket. Darcy opened the event with the Sword Dance - very good awe aspect to have a tiny girl doing the Gillie Callium over swords bigger than she is! Then Connor did the Seann Triubhas in his tartan jeans, Ashley did the Scotch Measure, Darcy did the Lilt and Connor finished up the nigh
