My '60 something' friend, Jeannette, use to compete and then teach those dances. Also my BIL's girls , in Illinois, use to compete. I have never seen the dances in person, but they seem very technical. Thanks for sharing!

How neat. It's amazing how much is out there that I know nothing about and didn't even know was out there. Thanks for sharing. She looks like she's having a great time, which in the end, is what counts. carold

Great shots of someone having a great time! I love Irish/Scottish dancing, and, in fact, I used to teach the Irish Jig when I was a student teacher way back when! The high school girls used to learn a long version in gym classes......great exercise, and fun while you're at it! Wish I could remember it enough to attempt it now!

Seems as if your family is having a good time this spring! Thanks for the pics!

Great pictures. My background is Scottish and just the music alone is enough to get my feet moving.
