Students through the eighth grade receive instruction in Scottish Highland dancing and may elect to continue above that level. The program provides a unique way for students to receive the benefits of a superior form of physical exercise, to promote personal grace and precise muscle control, and to develop a sense of rhythm and coordination between body and mind.
Students also may elect to take after-school dance instruction to prepare for dance competitions both in the United States and internationally.
