| HIGHLAND
DANCE - 5 Years old & Up
Highland
Dancing is a very powerful and graceful form of dance,
best known for its intricate footwork and lively spirited
music. In this discipline, you will learn many traditional
and national dances that have been carried down through
centuries, such as the Highland Fling, Sword Dance,
Irish Jig and Sailor's Hornpipe.
Students
will also be challenged with fun choreography to favorite
Celtic music. Competitive dancing is a big part of the
history of Highland Dance and is still very popular
among today's Highland Dancers.
Highland
Dancing has its own governing body, called the Scottish
Official Board of Highland Dancing (SOBHD). Under this
board, they offer competitions all over the world. Our
Highland program is taught by an experienced, certified
Highland instructor who can offer the Scottish Dance
Teacher's Alliance exams (S.D.T.A). Those students that
choose to participate in highland SOBHD competitions
or exams, must have a teacher that is both certified
and a professional member of Scotdance Canada.
