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,
both boys and girls are welcome to come to our classes. Follow link
to Classes - Highland (or the menu) for times and days.
