Competitive Highland dancing started during the Highland revival of Victorian Britain, and was for men only. Ladies began competing only at the turn of the century. Over the centuries the dancing style has become more refined and now shares many elements from classical ballet.
For performances - we can include the traditional highland dances you often see performed in the kilt, some of the more balletic dances designed for the women, or the story dances of the Irish Jig - which tells the story of an Irish washerwoman, or Sailor’s Hornpipe - which represents the British sailors at sea. Or a mixture of them all!
No matter what dances or style of performance you choose, |
Dancers are available to perform:
Ceilidh classes for couples and groups interested in learning more, etc. Ceilidh dances are the Scottish version of country line dances. Great fun for weddings, large events and more. Private classes available for $50/couple. Semi-private classes also available for a family, wedding party, or small group. We can also come to your event to teach ceilidh dances to your attendees, crowd or audience to get them up and moving and enjoying our rich Scottish heritage. Please contact us to schedule and for pricing.

Upon your request we can include the
historical story of each dance performed - either by the dancers themselves or
one of their instructors. The stories are great for educational or cultural
events so the audience can learn and understand more about our Scottish heritage
and the dances themselves.
Scottish highland dancing is one
of the oldest forms of folk dance, and both modern ballet and square dancing can
trace their roots back to the Highlands.
Although historically Highland dancing was restricted to men,
today it is mostly performed by females. No matter who dances them, Highland
dance require both athletic and artistic skill.
