Founded in 1973, the Red Thistle Dancers are a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing and performing traditional Scottish dance forms including Country Dancing, Highland Dancing, and Ladies' Step Dancing.
Headed by Artistic Director Jennifer Kelly, they have been regular participants in the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival since 1977 and were honorees in 1991.
The Red Thistle Dancers have performed in the Dance Mosaic in Palo Alto, in concerts and full-length theater productions, at outdoor events and fairs, and for international festivals, schools, parties, fundraising events, weddings, and conventions, accompanied by live music from Red Thistle Music.
