Looking back: Glenrothes Children's Ballet 1974

Taken more than 40 years ago, it shows the members of Glenrothes Children’s Ballet who had been showing off their talents at a concert held in Markinch Town Hall, which had been organised as a fundraising event for Save the Children.

While the young dancers in front are resplendent in the costumes more associated with ballet, others at the back suggest the event had a broader programme of entertainment than purely a ballet display.

Now, four decades later, many of these enthusiastic youngsters could well be watching their own children, or even grandchildren, performing at local dance shows.
