Anika Harpavat (pictured) danced at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle. Dancers from around the world auditioned for a coveted spot in the group, and Anika participated for five weeks as a performer this summer. A Scottish highland dancer since she was in kindergarten at Saint Thomas’ Episcopal School, Anika has competed nationally and internationally for several years. Last year, she placed second in the US, preparing her for the performances this year at Edinburgh Castle. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an annual event, and this year marked the 75th anniversary. Anika graduated from St. Agnes Academy in May 2025 and is now a freshman at Stanford University studying biochemistry and economics.
