The giants don't just walk- they also dance to the music. During this week's festivities there were giants visiting from other towns. The minders are watching every step- -- just in case a giant looses its balance...

Dancers from Scottish Ballet in the world premiere of their new production of Swan Lake, choreographed by David Dawson.
I took this at the dress rehearsal at the Theatre Royal in Glasgow, on Monday.
Shooting dance is thrilling, challenging and frustrating in almost equal measures. Particularly when there are lots of dancers on stage...it's a constant challenge trying to identify how to compose the shot. Lots of stray body parts in frame, generally don't make for a great shot.
Shooting dance is chaos...but, order can emerge. :-)
You can see other shots of this production in my Swan Lake set.
It will also be touring to Aberdeen, Inverness, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Liverpool.

Dancers from 'Be Captivated' by Ballet Central at the New Town Theatre, during last year's Edinburgh Fringe.
This show was a very enjoyable show, both to watch...and to photograph.
You can see other pics from this show, here:

Red and black skirts for these Portuguese traditional folk dancers lined up ready to go.
Backless black shoes and a variety of socks, tights, leggings and bare feet but who cares - they danced beautifully!
