Society Highland Dancing Classes commenced in the year 1900 and 
have continued to be an active section of the Society well recognised 
both locally, nationally and internationally for their contribution to 
Highland Dancing. 
The benefits of becoming a Highland dancer are many and varied. From 
having fun and making new and life long friends, to fitness, balance, coordination and musical appreciation to name a few. Once a dancer is 
proficient in the basics of Highland Dancing there are opportunities to 
progress onto competitions, examinations, performing in concerts and
