Two Perth women will rehearsal full for six days
before they perform dance in first ever Edinburgh Military Tattoo of Melbourne
next month. Mt Hawthorn’s Rebecca Adamson (25) and Helena Valley’s Victoria
Goode (19) will jointly perform five shows of Scottish highland dancing at
Etihad Stadium from February 12-14. The traditional dance was learned by the
women at young age in Kalgoorlie and continued when they shifted to Perth.
Ms Adamson said I studied tap, ballet and jazz when I joined university in Perth and I had to select what to continue but highland dancing provides a lot of opportunities to dance and travel. She added Highland dancing has offered me chances to visit the Netherlands, Switzerland and around Australia. Ms Adamson who is on the international Scottish highland dancing judging panel now, said she would take retirement from competitive dancing after the Melbourne event.
Ms Goode, who wants to continue competitive dancing,
said they take training three times a week ahead of competitions and no one
does it because it is so unique. She added once I watched Edinburgh Military
Tattoo in Scotland and I desired I will dance in it one day. She explained you
set a lot of goals for yourself and you are achieving the goals if you are
improving every time you dance.
