As
the mist curls over the green hills, the sound of a lone
bagpipe echoes a haunting tune through the valley; a shepherd
and his two border collies drive laggard sheep home; the
last rays of sunlight shine golden on the stone walls
of Edinburgh Castle. Now is the time to dance, as the
people of Scotland have for centuries.
Stroll with us down a narrow street, towards the
sound of fiddles, accordions, drums, and laughter. Push
open the door and you’re swept into the hall. The dance
has begun, a lively reel, an elegant strathspey, and then
a display of the dancing of the Highland Sword Dance,
the Highland Fling, and the Seann Triubhas. |

Our
dances are our history, representing Scottish war, freedom,
superstition and oppression. They express our pride, joy,
and grief. Watch the dances, you will see a story unfold,
step by step. Dunsmuir Scottish Dancers offer many performance
options, using live or recorded music. We will be happy
to teach your group a dance or two. Recent performances
have ended with the entire audience pushing back their
chairs and joining us! We have danced at the Academy of
Sciences in Golden Gate Park, the San Francisco Ethnic
Dance Festival, Highland Games, Masonic functions, fund
raisers, and Celtic Festivals. |
