Welcome to the Murphy Highland Dance School

Our dancers perform and compete traditional Scottish Highland Dancing. Highland dancing is a wonderful form of dance. Scottish Highland dancing is rich in Scotlands history. Our dancers dance such dances as the Highland Fling, Sword dance and national dances such as the Irish Jig, and the Sailors Hornpipe.

Our dancers range in age from 4 to adults.
New classes will be beginning in August.
