Who is Celtic Dance Supplies?

April 2, 2020

Bonnie is a mother of four (2 boys and 2 girls) and Nicole is the mother of 2 (1 of each).   We have been lifelong friends and the friendship was formed initially when our children were very young.   Our daughters love dancing and for Nicole, Highland dancing is an established sport in her extended family with many generations competing in Highland dancing competitions.   Through our daughters love of Highland dancing ours grew.

We remember vividly the nerves we as mothers had at our daughters first competitions.  Did we have everything right on the kilt?  Was it on straight?  Have I done the shoes up correctly? Is the bun okay?   Now our daughters are adults we no longer need to worry about that as, according to them, we just can’t do the bun correctly.

Subsequently as we were needed less and less as a helper to our daughters at competitions and became more of a spectator we looked for someone else to help.   We are both active members of the Townsville Highland Dancing Association with Nicole having the role of Treasurer and Bonnie being an Executive committee member.   Nicole is also a delegate on the Far North Queensland Regional Committee of Highland Dancing.   We now assist in running the competitions instead of being the spectator.

From all this we formed Celtic Dance Supplies Australia wanting to assist the Highland Dancing Community and make things a little less daunting and a little easier to all those mums that felt like us.
