Patricia Houghton

Patricia Houghton Pat was born in Glencoe, Argyllshire and has been dancing all her life. She divides her time between Edinburgh and the family farm (which grows malt whisky!) in Easter Ross. She enjoys dancing and teaching whenever and wherever possible.

Pat took her Preliminary and Full Teaching Certificates at St. Andrews in 1993 and 1995 respectively. She has been a member of several branch and club demonstration teams, giving performances in the UK and abroad and also in the Younger Hall at Summer School. Pat taught at RSCDS Winter Schools in Pitlochry in 2005 and 2009. She first taught at St. Andrews Summer School in 2005 and has been on the staff every year since, teaching at all levels of experience and also tutoring examination candidates. Pat enjoys teaching for local branches and societies and at day and weekend schools in the UK and internationally. This year, she taught at the Budapest Scottish Dance Club's International Weekend in March and will be teaching at TAC summer School in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

John MacLeod

John MacLeod John started dancing in Washington, D.C. while still in high school. Shortly afterward he joined the Army and continued dancing in whatever exotic location he found himself: Dayton, Anchorage, Japan, and others, as well as regular return assignments and visits to D.C. He and his little brother obtained their teaching certificates in 1993, bringing to three the number of Bill and Betty’s kids with teaching certificates (the fourth MacLeod sibling is capable of dancing but prefers to spend his time as a luthier or fiddler). Between dances he is an electrical engineer, and firmly believes everything worth doing in life is started or finished with a bow or curtsey.
