2nd blog from New Ambassador Kirsty Seddon
Hello This is my 2nd blog to tell you all more about myself .. I started dancing for something fun to do, a way to stay healthy. I quickly learned that not only does dance help keep you healthy, it also helps your mental health. There are some times that after work, I just want to go have a nap, but don’t because I have dance class. Sometimes it’s hard to get changed, go to class and put those ghillies on but boy do I feel better after class. Being around my dance friends, listening to the music and just...
Meet Kirsty Seddon our NEW Ambassador from Canada

Amelia joins The Highland Dancer
Hello, my name is Amelia and I’m 9 years old. I live in Dunoon which is well known for hosting Cowal Highland Gathering, home of the World Championships. I’ve been dancing since I was born as my mum is Katrina Martin and she’s a highland dancing teacher. Although my mum helps me practice, I attend Team MacNeil with Fiona Macneil, and travel to Paisley for my lessons (or zoom thanks to covid)! One of my favourite dancing memories was when I attended the dancing competition in Disneyland Paris. Not only did I get gold but got to meet all the...
Korri joins Team HD
Hi my name is Korri, I’m 10 years old and I attend James McCorkindale school of dance in Campbeltown Argyll. I’ve been a member of the dance school since I was 5 and I’m now a premier dancer! I’ve been to so many competitions since I started dancing but my favourite has to be Cowal Highland Gathering. I was super excited to win the 7 years beginners and 8 years novice sections! Sadly I couldn’t dance in the intermediate section because of covid but I am hoping to return this year and dance in premier. In 2019 age 8 I...
