Did you know that the Traditional Dance Forum of Scotland was established in 2014? Join us for Ten out of Ten – a series of events with traditional dance roots across Scotland in autumn 2024 to mark our 10th anniversary. We start with 10 events across Edinburgh celebrating the diversity and breadth of traditional dance activities by our 200+ members. We hope that this may inspire you to collate the top Ten out of Ten in your stomping ground. How about the Ten out of Ten from the Scottish Highlands and Islands to the Scottish Borders? Contact us and we will be pleased to help spread the word.

Some of the Ten out of Ten highlights in Edinburgh? Start with a Scottish Stepdance Workshop; then try a Ceilidh Plus night packed with Ceilidh dances and tunes from Scotland, China and the USA; dance through the Scottish Enlightenment and finish on a high note with another Ceilidh Plus event featuring Ceilidh dances and tunes from Scotland, Italy and Greece. Browse and book one or all of the Ten out of Ten events across Edinburgh and stay tuned for the Ten out of Ten events across the rest of Scotland curated by our members based up and down the country.
