Do I need previous dance experience?
Not at all! Our Pre-Premier classes welcome complete beginners. You’ll learn Highland Dance step by step in a supportive environment.
What should I wear to a trial class?
Comfortable shorts, a shirt, and socks are all you need! If you have ballet or other soft-soled dance shoes, you can wear those. Otherwise, socks are fine. Long hair should be tied back.
What should I bring?
Just a water bottle! Please arrive about five minutes early so we can show you around the studio and get to know you.
