Shortly DUTK.com readers will be enjoying the talents of Highland Dance Journalist Mary-Jo Tohill. Mary-Jo, a well-known SOBHD teacher from New Zealand, has relocated to Australia and will be providing DUTK.com with dance related articles.

The first of these articles will be a review on the International Highland Dancing Championships of Australia which were a terrific success this past weekend. Mary-Jo's review will be an independant report on the event from a participants view. The review will begin at the Gala dinner and give an account right through to the International workshop conducted by Bill Troock, Avril O'Leary, Aileen Robertson and Shendl Russell.

We welcome Mary-Jo to the DUTK.com team and look forward to reading her articles.
