Yes! We’re Proud To Have A High Tech System To Bring You Into Most Classes From The Comfort Of Your Own Home!

We don’t allow parents to sit in on dance classes as it is a distraction for all of the dancers in the class. Some exceptions:

 

Parent viewing weeks – each semester around the mid-way point, we aim to host a Parent Viewing Week where parents can observe the last 10 minutes of class and the dancers get to show you what they’ve learned so far

 

Parent/Guardian & Dancer designated classes: parents are permitted in classes that are specifically designated for dancers and parents to attend and dance together

 

Privates: at the discretion of the instructor teaching the private, parents may be permitted to observe. It can be helpful for parents to take notes of the corrections given to the dancer during the class.

Small & Tall Highland

"After trying other studios, this is the first time our 2yo daughter has enjoyed a dance class. The atmosphere in the studio is welcoming and fun. She asks almost every morning if dance class is today! We’re hoping she will continue to progress to other classes."

"Best dance studio I have ever been too! The atmosphere is welcoming and super friendly. I felt like I belong from the moment I stepped through the front doors and Nicole is a fantastic dance teacher!"

Twirling Thistles

"My daughter attends Highland classes at Sarosa Studio with Nicole Odo. My daughter joined the dance school this past year, with 5 years of previous experinece, and has been welcomed with open arms. classes have been nothing short of awesome! My daughter receives regular feedback and corrections. She has also received video critiques and a personal note from her instructor on why she is glad to have her there. She feels included as a member of this dance family and finds everyone to be helpful and kind. Her technique has improved and she is progressing in her learning and feels motivated to keep pushing herself. I appreciate everything Nicole and all the other instructors have done for her."

Leaping Lassies, Retired Highland Dance

"Nicole is a dancer I’ve looked up to since competing many years ago, after taking several years off Nicole has worked with me to get back into competitions and learning to love the sport again! She is a brilliant teacher and role model for young dancers everywhere. Nicole’s studio is welcoming and I highly recommend enrolling!"

Highland Hoppers

"Love this casual Wednesday morning class. I started in the fall of 2021 with my then 3 year old. She loved it. Now my almost 2 year old and my now 4 year old both go on Wednesday mornings. It's a fun, inviting class where the kids can wear off some energy. I like how it is laid back so both kids can participate. Jade is really easy going with the kids and the parents. It's nice to have something during the week to do with them that everyone enjoys."

Highland Hoppers

This class is designed to introduce dancers aged 2-3 to the environment of an instructor-led dance class while having fun, exploring their creativity, and learning the fundamentals of Scottish Highland Dance. Learning and growing through play is at the core of this introductory class!
