Highland dancing (3rd of 3)

Highland dancing

Young contestants compete in the Highland dancing at the 2008 games, while onlookers shelter from the sun under a canopy supplied by Turakina Māori Girls College. The school was set up in Turakina in 1905, but has been based in nearby Marton since 1928.
