The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo dancing star ‘Elayne Seaton’

In 1950, Edinburgh Tattoo is an event steeped in traditions. Every year in August, the massed pipes and drums march over the narrow drawbridge, a lone piper plays high upon Edinburgh Castle’s ramparts and the national anthem is performed by military bands. 

However, each annual outing of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo offers a unique show, with a different cast of troupes invited from countries across the world.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2020  will start from the 7-29th August of this year. 

Edinburgh Military Tattoo is just closer to its 70th birthday that are celebrating in August 2020. Tattoo fans who want to join this iconic festival can buy Edinburgh Military Tattoo Tickets from our most consistent and unfailing online platform.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo dancing star ‘Elayne Seaton’

Edinburgh Military Tattoo’s  has a global reputation that it sits high on the bucket list of many a dancer, piper or military performer. There’s a special kudos of having ‘done Edinburgh’ (2009 with RAF Pipes and Drums, since you ask) and its gravitas continues attracting new participants to be part of the heritage and to draw preceding cast members back to the esplanade.

One returning performer is Elayne Seaton (21), a Highland dancer with Aileen Robertson School of Dancing, who made her Edinburgh Tattoo debut at past year’s East Meets West themed Tattoo.

I started Highland dancing at the age of three, after trying ballet and having watched Highland dancing on television.

Elayne asked her dance teacher if she, could teach me the dancing with the quilts on! At the age of eight I began training in Highland with my current teacher and dance director of Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Aileen Robertson. She gave me the opportunity to excel in competitive Highland dancing and passed on her love of choreography to me.’

Dancing CV of Elayne Seaton includes tattoos in Crete, Berlin, Virginia, Inverness, Basel, and she performed with dancers from all disciplines during the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Elayne was one of 20 dancers chosen from Scotland to perform at Edinburgh Tattoo tour to New Zealand and Australia at the start of 2016 and one of eight Edinburgh dancers to appear in the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations at Windsor Castle, and you can appreciate she’s a dancer in high demand.

what makes the Tattoo so special to Elayne Seaton?

‘Performing in front of a home crowd makes me so proud to be Scottish. The setting right there on the castle esplanade offers an unrivalled experience for all the performers.’

Every year the Tattoo welcomes Highland dancers from across the globe for a combined routine, with just a matter of days to pull it together.
