Forrester's Cape Breton Scottish Dance Company consists of the senior Highland and Celtic Step dancers. The Celtic Step Dance division is known as "Reel Precision".

The junior dance company "Highland Thistle" is made up of 25 young dancers in training for several years before becoming part of the senior company. Our dancers are all very dedicated, talented and passionate about their art. The atmosphere is challenging, creative and most importantly...FUN!

The Senior Dance Company performs in approximately 50 shows a year and have been invited to represent Canada during many national & international festivals all over the world, including Europe, United States, Canada & Asia. Their repertoir consists of Highland, Celtic Step Dance, Scottish National, specially choreographed and novelty dances.

They performed 22 shows at Epcot Centre in Walt Disney World as part of Rhythms of the World in 1995. Members were also featured in the award winning movie "Margaret's Museum", the CBC series “The Pit Pony” and "Good Morning America". They also perform on a regular basis for Cruise Ship passengers and they have performed on the QEII.

Last summer they represented Canada at the World Folklore Festival in Quebec where 300,000 spectators watched their performances and participated in their workshops. During one of their performances, talent scouts from Arc Music of England selected the Dance Company musicians to record a CD of their music. The CD, entitled "Music of Nova Scotia", contains 19 tracks, along with a booklet translated into four official languages, and is being distributed worldwide. They continue to be true ambassadors of our Celtic culture!

They are often invited to entertain at many conferences, ceilidhs,
concerts, festivals, weddings and add Liturgical dance to many
Interfaith services & functions.

They also help & perform on a regular basis for such causes as:
Christmas Daddies, Homeless Shelter, Loaves & Fishes, Children's
