Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Scottish Highland Dance Academy (SHDA).

 

The Scottish Highland Dance Academy was established in Perth, Western Australia over 30 years ago and is one of the leading highland dance schools in Australia.

Over the years our dancers have enjoyed many competitive successes together with achieving many personal goals.

Our dancers currently hold championships in most states of Australia together with 4 places in the 2010 Champion of Champions Championships of Australia.

Classes are held in Perth suburbs both north and south of the river and also the country town of Northam. Our classes cover championship, competition, examination and floor show display work with our dancers being trained by seven qualified teachers.

 

For more information on class times please contact Kerry Grosser.

 

Our dancers for many years have enjoyed the fabulous experience of performing with the renowned WA Police Pipe Band (WAPOL). They have danced at many concerts including the annual Australia Day “Oz” concert in the gardens of the Western Australia’s Government House together with concerts at the Burswood Theatre, Mandurah Entertainment Centre, Joondalup Police Academy Arena and the  “Scotland the Brave” spectacular which has travelled Australia and New Zealand.

 

One of the greatest experiences for our dancers in past years was when our dancers featured in the video clip of Australian band “Jebediah” for their hit “Fall Down”.

 

Over the last few years  our dancers have performed at tattoos in Edinburgh, Oman, Sydney, Virginia, Nova Scotia and also the wonderful experience of dancing a week in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo to celebrate their national day. Highland Dancing has taken many of them around the world and our hope is that this will continue in years to come.

 

The focus of the Scottish Highland Dance Academy is to teach to a very high technical level to produce highland dancers who develop a love of the great art form that is highland dancing. Our hope for our dancers is that they fulfil their dreams, meet their goals and become the best dancers they can be.
