Strength, Fitness & Coordination
Highland Dance develops strength, endurance, balance, and coordination through high-energy moves with increasingly challenging steps. Dancers improve their physical fitness while developing musicality and precision.
Confidence, Resilience & Achievement
Learning new dances and working toward personal goals helps dancers build confidence, focus, and resilience. As they learn challenging steps, make time to practice, and celebrate their achievements, they develop valuable skills that extend beyond the dance studio.

Questions About Your First Class?
Where are you located?
Our studio is located at 5643 Jefferson St. NE in Albuquerque, inside CrossFit Albuquerque. When you enter the office park, drive straight back toward the CrossFit Albuquerque sign.
What should my child wear to a trial class?
Comfortable shorts, a shirt, and socks are all they need! If they have ballet or other soft-soled dance shoes, they can wear those. Otherwise, socks are fine. Long hair should be tied back.
What should my child bring?
Just a water bottle! Please arrive about five minutes early so we can show you around the studio and get to know your child.
Can parents watch the class?
Yes! We have a TV in our waiting area that allows parents to watch the class.
