Because you already know that how your child spends their early years really matters.

*Seriously important facts incoming*

✔️ 90% of a child’s brain development happens before age 5, and movement-based play is one of the BEST ways to support it.

✔️ Toddlers who participate in structured movement programs show improved motor skills, language development, and social-emotional regulation.

✔️ Gross motor skills (like balance, hopping, and coordination) lay the foundation for future physical confidence, in and out of the studio.

✔️ Studies show that physical movement helps reduce toddler meltdowns, increase sleep quality, and support a sense of routine and independence.

…Need we say more?

With benefits like that, it’s no wonder families are looking for more than just playtime.

You want an activity you can do together, that will set them up with skills for life. And that’s exactly what Small & Tall Highland is here to deliver.

Introducing:

Small & Tall Highland

A 12-week dance program for ages 1–3 and their grown-ups to move, play, and connect, making every class the highlight of your week.

My daughter has attended several rounds of Small and Tall (...) She loves going, asking me daily if it’s dance class day. She has learned so much even at a young age, it’s been great to see and to have something we do together.

Love Saorsa Studio!! Amazing teachers and junior leaders, they show so much dedication and support to the kids. The classes are fun while teaching essential skills in highland dance, instilling confidence and a way to make friends.
- Katelyn
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!
