Dance Information

Milngavie (pronounced "mill-guy", or locally "mull-guy" with the accent on the second syllable) is a town in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland, and a suburb of Glasgow.

It is situated on the Allander Water at the northwestern edge of Greater Glasgow, around ten kilometres (six miles) from Glasgow city center, and borders Bearsden.

As a commuter town, many of its residents travel to Glasgow for work or study. Milngavie is connected to central Glasgow by its railway station on the North Clyde Line of the SPT rail network.


Maestro, meaning "master" or "teacher", is an honorific title of respect, often abbreviated as Mo. It is primarily used to refer to a distinguished conductor of an orchestra or an expert, usually in music or another artistic field.

The term is used to show respect for someone highly skilled in their craft, unlike the people responsible for the artwork shown on the sign in the picture below.
