WHY HIGHLAND DANCE?

Enhanced learning and better life skills are just two of the many benefits of learning Highland Dance

With so many choices of activities and sports available for children, Highland dance is one that provides enduring benefits that reach far beyond learning the tradional dances of Scotland.

Considered both a sport and an art form, Highland Dance builds strong and flexible bodies, improves agility, coordination and balance and increases bone density.  More importantly, Highland Dance imparts lessons that last a lifetime.  Dancers learn goal setting, self-discipline, resilience and adaptability.

Enhanced Learning

Children who choose Highland Dance tend to excel in school.  It is one of the very few activities to exclusively use cross-lageral integration to perform movements.  Cross-lateral integration hard wires the brain for learning and improves academic skills and memory.  It also increases the ability to concentrate.
