More than 70 dancers from two of the island’s folk dance groups combined their teams for a mass performance in front of Tynwald Hill.

Held during the afternoon of Tynwald Day, dancers from the groups Skeddan Jiarg and Perree Bane teamed up to perform a range of traditional Manx dances, including the Melliah, Hop tu Naa, Eunyssagh Vona, the dance for three and the Flitter Dance.

Both the adults and children’s teams of each group featured, with the performers aged from three years old upwards.

Skeddan Jiarg later went on to appear at the Lieutenant Governor’s Tynwald garden party.

The Peel-based group are also set to travel to France to represent the Isle of Man at the huge Lorient festival of Celtic music and culture later this year, during August.
