Draft Highland Dancing Running Order 2022
Please Note:
1 - This is a draft running order at this time. Exact running order and timings will be confirmed once final competitor numbers are known.
2 - The running order has been changed to reflect the fact that dancers will be 2 years older than they were when the tickets were purchased in 2020. This means some age groups will not be dancing on the platforms that they would usually be on. The dancers should be dancing where they would have danced in 2020 in order to ensure the stand tickets they have are still valid. This will be for this year only and is a result of the last two years having to be cancelled.
