Seann Triubhas (pronounced shawn trews, meaning “old trousers”) is one of the most symbolic Highland dances – one that began as a form of political protest. ⚔️ ⁠ After the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, highlanders were forbidden from wearing traditional dress, and the kilt became a symbol of resistance. The slow, graceful movements of this dance symbolize restriction, while the lively quick time celebrates the joy and freedom when the ban was lifted in 1782.⁠ ⁠ This story would've resonated deeply
