Dance 100 is coming to Edinburgh – show up for Huntington’s families across Scotland!

We are proud to announce we are bringing our flagship event, Dance 100, to the heart of Edinburgh on Saturday 13 June. For the first time, we will take over the spectacular Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens, transforming the historic open-air amphitheatre into the stage for our most ambitious event to date.

Dance 100 is our high-energy, DJ-led sponsored dance challenge, inviting participants to take on the ultimate musical endurance test – dancing to 100 songs back-to-back while raising vital funds for Scottish Huntington’s Association!

It is a powerful opportunity for people across Scotland to stand together with the Huntington’s community and show their support for families in every local area of the country.

Why should you come to Dance 100?

Taking part in Dance 100 isn’t just about completing a 100-song dance challenge – it’s about being part of something powerful, positive and deeply meaningful.

Here’s why you should join us:

Raise vital funds for specialist Huntington’s services – every step you take on the dance floor helps fund the life-changing specialist support and advocacy for people and families impacted by Huntington’s disease through a nationwide network of services that include Huntington’s Disease Specialists, a Youth Service, and a Financial Wellbeing Service.

Shine a spotlight on Huntington’s disease – by taking part, you help raise awareness, spark conversations and bring national attention to the challenges families face every day. Dance 100 is a visible, energetic way to stand up and say: this community matters. When you step onto that dance floor, you become part of a national show of support for the Huntington’s community.

Experience an unforgettable day – with 100 songs back-to-back, our star DJ Steve McKenna, performances from local dance groups and an electric atmosphere, Dance 100 promises to be a day you’ll never forget. It’s not just an event – it’s an experience filled with music, movement and moments that will stay with you long after the final song plays.

Bring people together – Dance 100 is perfect for friends, families, workplaces and community groups. It’s a chance to bond, laugh, encourage each other and share a meaningful goal.

Stand in solidarity with families across Scotland – by joining Dance 100, you show families in every local area that they are not alone. Your presence sends a powerful message of unity, strength and support.

Challenge yourself – can you make it through 100 songs? Whether you dance every beat or power through in your own way, this is a personal challenge that pushes you, motivates you and gives you an incredible sense of achievement.

Boost your wellbeing –  dancing is great for both physical and mental health. Moving to music lifts your mood, reduces stress and fills you with energy – all while supporting a cause that truly matters.
