YOUNG sisters took to the street to give their neighbours another reason to clap and cheer as they performed at 8pm on Thursday night.

Miah-Grace, aged six, and Caragh Mae, aged four, sported their brand new kilts as they danced in their Radnor Park street to show appreciation for Scotland’s key workers.

The girls – along with sister Tilly-Rose, aged three – are members of Hunter’s School of Dance, located in Clydebank Business Park.

The dancers were inspired by videos their dad, Andrew McGowan, had shown them of pipers playing Amazing Grace.

The girls usually perform alongside pipers at their dance competitions, all of which have been cancelled until October, at least.

Proud dad Andrew told the Post Miah was keen to get her new kilt on so he contacted her dance instructor, Nicola Currie, to ask if she would be allowed to perform a dance she originally choreographed for upcoming competitions.

He said: “Really, I think Miah was trying to pull a fast one so she could get her kilt on, she’s really missed dancing and was gutted when competitions were cancelled.

“She has been competing for two years now, so she’s been bored without her dance classes and Caragh had been looking forward to more competitions since she only started competing a year ago.”

Their younger sister Tilly didn’t join her sisters on the street, but has followed in their steps by attending the baby class for a few months before lockdown meant the school had to close.

The sisters have now inspired several of their other friends to get out and dance, with other members of the dance school posting pictures and videos of their efforts in Dumbarton, Helensburgh and elsewhere in Clydebank.

Miah and Caragh were also part of a group-effort to create a video for their dance instructor who has given birth to a baby boy during the lockdown.

Several members of the dance school performed a section of their routine to the Red Hot Chilli Pipers song Everybody Dance Now, which was then edited and sent to their instructor.

Andrew said: “Miah is a little older, so she understands more about the virus and why they can’t go to school or dance practice.

“Caragh and Tilly don’t get it but they are only too happy to dance anyway and Caragh loved performing on the street, she didn’t want to come back inside.

“Miah said she wanted to do something special since she seen the pipers, and told me and her mum she would like to perform for the street because it’s what she really loves and wWe thought it might put a smile on people’s faces.

“The neighbours were great, they loved it and the girls got a real lift.”

Andrew shared the video on his Facebook, with family, friends and neighbours commenting on how great the girls danced, Nicola was quick to comment, writing: “That’s my girls”.
