Introducing:

Retired Highland Dancer

A class where retired dancers can reconnect with the joy, fun, and community of highland.

I want in!
Nicole is such a fun teacher! I don't think I would have ever returned to Highland dance if it was not for her!
- Maggie
Such a warm, friendly and welcoming place. I really loved being able to get back into dance without judgement or pressure.
- Alexa
I like being able to attend online or through a recording when life gets busy, as an adult. I also loved switching from choreography to rarer dances like Flowers and J. L.
- Morgan
