Our students learn authentic Highland and Scottish Country dancing in supportive group environments, building confidence through community performances and cultural education.
Why Families Choose Our Highland Dance Classes
Located in central Maple Ridge, our family-oriented school welcomes children ages 3-18 for authentic Scottish dance instruction. Director Sarah Stubley brings over thirty years of experience and official SDTA certification earned in Scotland, ensuring your child receives genuine Highland dance education rooted in Scottish traditions.
Our classes emphasize character development alongside technical skills. Students learn traditional dances like the Highland Fling and Sword Dance, plus Scottish Country dances for community performances. Rather than competing individually, our dancers perform together at Lower Mainland festivals, care homes, and cultural events throughout the Fraser Valley.

While based in Maple Ridge, families travel from Mission, Langley, Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, and throughout the Fraser Valley for our unique program.
