Ballarat Scottish Country Dance Group

Our dancers entertaining at the Smythesdale country market

Nine dancers showcased Scottish Country Dancing today at Kelaston Aged Care in Ballarat. It was our first demonstration wearing our new skirts, which are cooler than kilts (and thank heavens for that as we were all boiling afterwards!) Much appreciation to the ladies in our Demo Team below, and to Graham, who also danced today but who volunteered to take the photo as he doesn't have a new skirt.

2026 Minerva Social. Great day - music, program, venue, refreshments, attendees, camaraderie and dancing.

The Ballarat Annual Minerva Social

Huge congratulations to our dancer Neil, who, on Australia Day, was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for "service to veterans, and to the community through a range of roles".
What an amazing achievement.
