Highland Dancing

The Seaforth Highland Dancers.

Highland dancers have been a part of the band since the 1960's. The tradition was continued in 2001 when our dance instructor Suzanne Mckenzie joined the band and began to teach.

The dancers, in their Dress McKenzie kilts,  now entertain with our band and others at venues both in the UK and abroad with their vibrant displays including reels, strathspeys, the traditional Highland Fling and the audience favourite, the sword dance.

Highland dancing is physically demanding, and a fun and social way of keeping fit! Some of our dancers also choose to enter competitions with the SOBHD,(Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing), and have been very succesful.

Anyone can join us, of any gender, from around five years old and upwards. No special equipment is initially required and once you are ready to perform with us we will even provide your costumes.

The class is now held at Hathern Village Hall, Dovecote Street,Hathern,near Loughborough. (satnav LE12 5HS), on Tuesdays 6.30-7.30pm and Thursdays 6.30-8.30pm. Classes cost £1.50 a session which pays for the hall hire. We would be delighted to welcome you! To contact Suzanne please call 07973 165786.
