Highland Dancing

Commencing at 9am

The sloping bank, under the trees at the northern end of the Paeroa Domain creates a perfect viewing area for spectators of the Highland Dancing. Mrs April Mudford, the Highland Dancing co-ordinator expects that 30 to 40 dancers from throughout the upper North Island will compete, similar to previous years.

Thirty dancing events will be held throughout the full day’s programme.

These include the popular Highland fling, Sailors Hornpipe, Irish Jig and Sean Truibhas.

In addition to the usual events, it is hoped to include some South Auckland Centre Championship events.

JUDGES:

Mrs Danitta Findlay, Christchurch
Miss Kate Lee, Tauranga

PIPER:

Rob McNabb
