Highland Dancing
Highland dancing is the traditional dance form of Scotland and includes all the
flash stuff that involves swords, high-kicking steps, leaping and so on.
Generally a dance for individuals, with around 20 set dances performed
for competitions and displays.
It's fun, but it's HARD. The aim of Highland is absolute precision of steps; it's reasonably easy to waggle your legs in roughly the right place, and a whole lot harder to do it so that it looks good. But it's worth it for the satisfaction of getting it right, and the impression you create when you give a display or enter a competition.
At present we offer classes for children and experienced adults only, which are taken by our qualified and friendly Highland teachers, Trudy Bellinger and . Although Highland was traditionally performed by men, we welcome boys, girls, women and men to our classes.
