Practice for North Shore Tartan Day Tattoo – Sunday 26th June

North Shore Netball Centre

1.30pm - 4.30pm

1.30pm for the set dancing Bonnie Anne

2pm for all other dancers

Every year the tattoo aims to do something a bit different – next year we are aiming for a mass display of SCD as well as some choreographed or advanced dancing.  This will be a one-off – we are not aiming for a mass display every year.

The aim is to fill the arena with 12 – 16 sets.   The mass display will follow the choreographed or advanced dancing and will be:

A medley of jig, strathspey and reel:

• Cumberland Reel  (once through)
• 12 Coates Crescent (once through)
• Eric’s Jubilee (once through)

A medley of:

• The Flowers of Edinburgh (twice through)
• The Deil Amang the Tailors (twice through)

As much as possible people who want to dance together will be in the same set.   Sets will be made up so that the set either includes four men, four women on the men’s side dancing in tartan skirts or all women.  There will be the option for a set to wear blue rather than white.  We will be synchronising clothing as much as possible (without buying anything new).

I am be looking for initial numbers in May, with confirmed numbers in June. Indications of interest prior to this would be great.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me (09) 294-7551 or kath@runciman.net.nz.
