  1. Wow, that looks really fun. I love to dance and but I have never actually danced Highland dancing, Step dancing, Country dancing, Ballet, Hip hop and many more SCOTTISH STYLE. I love the way that children don’t just do it at festivals and the way that Adults get involved in it all. Maybe when I go dancing again I could ask if we could learn to dance scottish… It looks like you are all having alot of fun in that picture. Maybe our schools could meet up and swap dance moves.
