What is the Virtual Festival?

The Virtual Festival is a competition organised by the Youth Services Committee and we invite RSCDS Branches and Affiliated Groups to enter from anywhere in the world. 

The 2021 theme was “Ceilidh, dancing and beyond”. We invited participants to come up with choreography which included at least one of the dances from this years’ Spring Fling ceilidh dance writing workshop. They were also able to include country dance, and musical or other creative ceilidh items in the dance display.

      Virtual Festival 2020

      Branches from around the world have gathered (online and in-person), and wow, they have come up with some lovely surprises. All entries were imaginative, creative and lots of fun to watch!

      With their journey to all the locations they were planning to go in 2020, Lyon Branch won the popular vote. The winners of the under 16s category are Moscow’s Deer O’Dale dancers with their beautifully danced and presented display “The Scots and the Vikings”.

      Congratulations to both winners and thank you everyone for joining the Virtual Festival 2020!

      The 2018 winner!

      For 2018 we asked Branches & Groups to get a group of dancers together to perform a unique dance based on the theme 'Around the World'. The routine was to be mostly made up of Scottish Country Dance steps and formations, but giving it some exotic flair! We wanted the dances, surroundings and costumes to reflect and enhance the theme – groups were inspired to do something a little different. We received 15 submissions from across the world - Branches and Groups as far away as Buenos Aires, Cape Town and Calgary participated and we are pleased to share them with the world!

      In the end, Buenos Aires Scottish Country Dancers won in 2018 with their tango-inspired choreography. You can view their submission by heading to our official YouTube channel or by clicking the video below.
