Join us for a free pop-up dance performance and pipe band parade (be sure to wear your Red Shoes!) to celebrate the opening of The Red Shoes Festival.
What better way to open The Red Shoes Festival in Moira Shearer’s home town than with a dance performance. We invite you to a dance performance by local dance groups at the Louise Carnegie Gates, followed by joining a parade to the Carnegie Hall before a screening of The Red Shoes (tickets available separately from OnFife), starring Dunfermline-born actress Moira Shearer. Performances.
Audiences will be treated to dance performances from Dunfermline dance groups where we will be celebrating emerging talent from the Robertson Dance Academy and then Lesley Stewart Line Dancers will show us how it's done before they 'Get Dunfermline Dancing' by encouraging us all to join in a simple routine. As this is a pop-up performance there will be no seating available at the Louise Carnegie Gates during the 20 minutes that we will be there.
Parade After the performances - City of Dunfermline Pipes & Drums will lead us from the Louise Carnegie Gates along Bridge Street and High Street up to the Carnegie Hall on East Port ahead of the screening of The Red Shoes at 7.30pm. While this is primarily uphill, it will be undertaken at a slow walking pace. For those attending the film screening, there will be time for a comfort break and to get some drinks and snacks.
