Classes

Teeny Tots (ages 3-4) and Tiny Tots (ages 5-6) are 30 minute classes that take place on Tuesday nights. Dancers will learn the basics of highland dance (positions, movements of elevation, basic movements, etc.) and work up to full dances. Classes will be based on games and discovery, but will develop balance, strength, dexterity, coordination, creativity and resiliency during this important developmental stage. Dancers will receive the foundations of theory as they learn movements. 

This class is for newer dancers and those with some experience (ages 7+) and takes place every Wednesday 5:30-6:30pm. Dancers will learn the basic competitive highland dances (Highland Fling, Sword Dance, Seann Triubhas, Strathspey and Highland Reel) and national dances (Scottish Lilt, Flora MacDonald’s Fancy, etc.) while working on stamina, agility and technique. Dancers will also learn the history behind each dance, as well as highland dance theory.

This class is for adult dancers of any level who are looking for a fun and challenging way to stay fit. Highland Dance is high-intensity cardio, but the intricate steps provide excellent focal points to distract as well as motivate. As an adult dancer myself, I’ll make sure to lead proper warm up/stretching/cool down sessions and take into consideration any existing injuries dancers may have. This class may also lead to fun choreography for events around town. Come on out and “meet me at the barre”!
