This celebratory medley, titled "Decades of Dancing" was devised by Jennifer Kelly on the occasion of a milestone birthday for her husband, John Kelly. Together, Jennifer and John Kelly founded The Red Thistle Dancers and spent decades building one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s best-known Scottish dance performance groups, sharing Scottish Country and Highland Dance through performances, workshops, recordings, and teaching.
