It's fascinating, because it predates the current fad of pipe bands having bespoke tartans.
About white dancer's kilts, I'm no expert on the history of dancer's tartans but I believe that kilt would likewise predate the fad for white-based dancer's tartans.
The pattern resembles the simple Vestiarium tartans, to me.
EDIT: I checked, and that sett is indeed one the Allen Brothers used repeatedly for their Vestiarium designs, their familiar 4-equal-stripe tartans.
The identical sett, in various different colour-schemes, appears in
MacKay
Makeane
MacQueen
Buchanan
Fraser
Here's the VS MacQueen, the same sett as your kilt but different colours.
