Fall Schedule

Autumn is the heart of the Highland dance year — the season when new dancers begin, returning students set fresh goals, and competitors sharpen their technique after a busy summer of Highland Games.

The New Season Begins

Our fall term picks up as summer winds down, with classes running across the week for every level. Fall is an ideal time to start: the new term brings a wave of beginners, so newcomers are in excellent company, and there is a full season ahead to build skills before the spring and summer competition circuit.

Why Fall Is a Great Place to Start

Beginning in autumn gives a dancer the natural arc of a full year: foundational technique in the fall, steady refinement through winter, and the confidence to perform or compete by the warmer months. It also lines up beautifully with the school calendar, making Highland dance an enriching complement to a young person's year. As always, we share the dances of Scotland with enthusiasm and joy, and we fold new students gently into existing classes with extra support.
