Simonside Country Fair 2010
DKSoHD's first visit to this fair was another huge success and everyone who went along enjoyed not only the Highland Dancing but also the various other events going on; and the adjacent Pub (for some of the adults).
''New visitors to the Fair from
Blyth, the Donna Kimberley School of Highland Dancing, proved a very popular hit. The
troupe of young
dancers, beautifully costumed, gave two very
fleet-footed performances and showed real expertise with the some of the
trickier
Highland steps and a display of swords.
We'll certainly hope to welcome them back next year, their performance
really
lit up the wrestling ring - prior to the
young wrestling contenders arriving, of course. '

Seeboden Chidren's Folkdance festival 2009
A really enjoyable trip to an area that could be described as a cross between the English Lake District and the French Riviera. Lots of sightseeing and lots of really large appreciative audiences made this an excellent festival to take part in.more>>>

XIII Worldfolkdance Festival 2009
Our second trip to this festival as well, but this time the weather was more kind than on our first visit two years ago when it rained almost everyday. The glorious weather combined with the fact that we were accomodated in the 4star Taurus Park Hotel ensured everyone that went on the trip had a brilliant time and as usual the dancers did us proud at both the international competition and in the street displays.more>>>
