Dunedin Dancers was formed in 1970 by members of New Scotland who wanted to return the favour to groups they had visited at Folk Festivals around Europe. The first Dunedin Festival was held in 1971, and has been held every two years since (with the exception in 2021 which was cancelled by Covid), hosting two to three visiting groups each time. 2025 is the 27th Dunedin Folk Dance Festival. The two Scottish groups come together to perform Scottish Country Dance, Highland and Scottish stepdance (hard shoe), to music played primarily on the fiddle, accordion and bagpipes. For more information about all our activities, including this festival, phone 0795 191 8366 or visit our websites: www.dunedindancers.org.uk; www.eunscds.com Dunedin Dancers is a Scottish Charity Registered No: SC011896 Les Pierrots de la Vallee (Normandy, France)
Created in 1987 in Garennes Sur Eure, a small village located on the border of Yvelines and Eure et Loir, the Folkloric group  Les Pierrots de la Vallée  aims to keep Norman popular traditions alive. Due to its proximity to the capital, the Eure Valley was influenced by Parisian fashion from an early age.  Les Pierrots de la Vallée  is the only group in Normandy to wear the  déshabillé  (women's cotton costume). The headdress called  Pierrot  gave the group its name. As for the men, they wear frock coats and top hats. Made up of a majority of young people, the dances practiced throughout Normandy take on a lively rhythm which makes them more cheerful and more enjoyable for both the dancers and the spectators. Apart from sewing for the maintenance and reshaping of the 7 costumes, the group makes a point of passing on the learning of bobbin lace, the jewel of the town of Bayeux. The primary goal of the association being to make its folklore known as widely as possible, what could be better than exchanges? This is how the Garennes Sur Eure International Folklore Festival was born in 1991 and has been held every two years ever since. Dunedin Dancers attended this festival in July 2024! Csata Táncegyüttes (Isaszeg, near Budapest, Hungary)
The Csata Táncegyüttes began its journey of conquest in 1968. It took its name in memory of the Battle of Isaszeg in 1848-49, and has been a defining figure in the cultural, public education and artistic life of the city of Isaszeg ever since. The aim of the ensemble is to present and introduce the dances, folk songs and traditions of the Carpathian Basin, while respectfully preserving the values of the past. We create modern performances that combine elements of Hungarian folk dance with current artistic trends. Our main mission is to present the dances and traditions of Isaszeg so that younger generations can learn about them and pass them on. For us, folk dance is not only a form of movement, but also a lifestyle, in which community, respect for traditions and artistic expression all play an equally important role. At the festival we would like to present the beauty and richness of Hungarian folk dance so that the participants can get closer to the culture of Hungary and gain insight into its past, present and future. Our thanks to Thanks to the City of Edinburgh Council/Essential Edinburgh, Mary Erskine Stewart Melville Schools, The Scottish Parliament, The French Institute of Scotland/ Institut Français d’Écosse, Edinburgh New Town Church, Historic Environment Scotland for their support with festival venues and to R&I MacDonald Kiltmakers for supporting our printing costs: www.macdonaldkiltmakers.co.uk
