We know there can be many questions about Scottish Highland dancing and our classes. We are always available to answer your questions. Below are a few of the most common, with answers!
Q: How old does my child have to be before he/she can enroll in Highland dance lessons?A: Most children can begin lessons at age 3-4, but we encourage you to consider the strengths of your child. While one child may have the physical coordination and attention span necessary to learn Highland dancing at a young age, for others it may be best to wait a year or two. You are always welcome to bring your child for a trial class before registering.

Q: Do I/my child have to be Scottish to take Highland dancing
A: No! Although some of our dancers begin dancing as a way to explore their Scottish heritage, many of our dancers don't have a drop of Scottish blood in them. And even though our Founder & Director, Fiona, is 100% Scottish, dancers of all ethnic and racial heritages fall in love with the athleticism and excitement of Scottish Highland dancing.

Q: How much does it cost?
A: Our class rates are very reasonable and less than many other extracurricular activities available to youngsters in the DFW metroplex. Please contact us for current rates. The only equipment you will initially be required to buy is a pair of ghillies or black ballet slippers and several pairs of white knee socks. Most of our beginner dancers wear costumes borrowed from Fiona's extensive costume closet, which keeps the initial investment low for the DHD families.
