A celebration of Scotland in song, music and dance
If you are looking for something special and different at this year’s Edinburgh Festival then read on.
Dancing Forth – the Scottish Show, will once again be presented by the members of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) Edinburgh Branch, sharing the breathtaking beauty of Scotland through its song, music and dance.
At each Festival since 1956 a unique performance has been created and presented to packed audiences. This year the dazzling show will be choreographed by Stewart Adam from Edinburgh. The dance team are deep in rehearsals for the week long run of exhilarating performances.
The intricate dances and the songs have been chosen to celebrate the people, places, pastimes and produce of Scotland and the Islands. This year we are proud to include dances which reflect the vital industries of Scotland, from the Coopers who make whisky barrels to "Harris Tweed” and “The Hebridean Weaving Lilt” and those who produce the world famous Harris Tweed today. The rich wealth of culture and tradition these industries provide are evident throughout the show.
The show runs from 9th to 13th August at the Edinburgh Academy, Henderson Row and showcases the heritage of Scotland through its traditional art forms.
