Reason For Starting Highland Dancing
|
I tried Ballet but wasn’t too keen on it and when I saw a friend dancing highland at school I thought I’d give it a try and have done it ever since.
|
Favorite Dance
|
I quite like the jig because you can pull funny faces and be mad, but I love choreography.
|
Favorite Competition
|
Aberdeen; the memories I have of that place; we go every year for a weekend and go shopping and have fun....especially the mums but that’s another story.
|
Highlight of Dancing Career
|
Winning the Class Overall Trophy a few years ago; it was so unexpected!!
|
Funniest Dancing Moment
|
There’s a few, most of which involve my underskirt being tucked into my pants.

Kilt Tartan
|
Royal Blue Dress Menzies

What Do You Enjoy About Teaching?
|
Passing on my knowledge of the dances to the wee ones and seeing them learn it; their faces when they know they’ve done well and get to choose their stickers.
|
Other Hobbies / Interests
|
I’m currently studying towards an honours degree in veterinary nursing and I’m into animal welfare. Achieved my gold award in the Duke of Edinburgh Award and have recently become a leader for my school. I love driving about in my car and watching Doctor Who.
