Young Dancers, Big Benefits!

Highland Dance is a wonderful way for young children to explore movement, develop new skills, and build confidence in a fun, encouraging environment.

Movement & Coordination

Through rhythmic movement and age-appropriate activities, young dancers develop balance, coordination, musicality, and body awareness.

Confidence & Learning Skills

Highland Dance helps children learn to focus, follow directions, take turns, and participate in a structured class. As they master new steps and celebrate their accomplishments, they also develop independence, confidence, and pride in what they can achieve.

Friendship & Fun

Through Highland Dance, young children gain opportunities to make new friends, practice social skills, and share new experiences.

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.
