Highland Dance Classes for Children Ages 4+
The Alexandria School of Highland Dance is now enrolling for the 2025-2026 school year! Highland dancing is both a traditional Scottish art form and modern sport — it’s the perfect workout for both the brain and the body, and you definitely don’t have to be Scottish to fall in love with Scottish dancing. You may recognize it by our tartan kilts, bagpipe music, and lots of jumping (ideal for those kids who never seem to run out of energy…) We have two classes suitable for new dancers:
| PRIMARY (ages 4-6): Our littlest dancers learn the basics of Scottish Highland dancing. It’s a fun, creative movement based class where students develop their balance, coordination, and musicality, all while making new friends and learning about another culture.
BEGINNER (ages 7+): This introduction to Highland dancing includes learning the most famous Scottish dances: the Highland Fling and the Sword Dance. There is a focus on teaching proper foundational technique while maintaining a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
