Demonstrations and Performances
The Thistle and Ghillies Scottish Country Dancers are available for demonstrations and performances for your public or private event. We have performed for many years at the Treasure Valley Celtic Festival and Highland Games, and have made appearances at many renaissance faires, farmers' markets, multicultural events, music festivals, and even weddings! The group can work in concert with The Acrasians, a Nampa-based Celtic band, to provide live music, or we can provide a sound system and recordings. Demonstrations may contain several performance dances, audience participation dancing, demonstration of wearing of the great kilt, and can incorporate talks on Robert Burns, the history of Scottish dress, and even Ladies' Step Dance. Usual time ranges from 30-45 minutes.Proceeds from performances help the club pay for classes and our annual ball, with 25% of all proceeds going to our scholarship fund.
