Our dancers had a wonderful time at the Newcastle Festival on Saturday, competing in the Ladies, Mixed and Display classes.
All the hard work paid off with some really impressive dancing and great feedback all round!

After the competition, we enjoyed some very energetic social dancing to the music of David Oswald and his band.
Thanks to all the dancers, the Saltire committee and, of course, the festival organisers for another enjoyable year!
