BackgroundThe Champion of Champions Championship of Australia is Australia’s most prestigious highland dancing event. It brings together Highland Dancers from many parts of the world as it rotates on a biennial basis through the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.
History The Championship was instigated by Mr. Frank Cleves, a long-standing supporter of Highland Dancing in Australia. The first Champion of Champions Championship was conducted in Frank’s home state, South Australia, in 1976. The event has rotated since that time, with 2010 celebrating the 18th Champion of Champions Championship event. |
