My Personal Experience.

I have been doing Highland dancing since i was 7 years old. Now at the age of 14 I am still loving it. It has so many great benefits.

With all the training and practice I do it keeps me in great shape. It is my daily required exercise. I have great stamina and leg strength from it.

Another benefit is that I have a second family at my dance studio. All the girls I dance with are like my sisters and my dance teacher is like my mom. All the girls I dance with call our studio our home.

I have also made so many new friends across the U.S. I have traveled for competitions and I stay in touch with all the girls I have met. It has been such a great experience knowing people from Tennessee, California, and Texas. Traveling for competitions helps me to see all the different cultures of people across America.

Also I get to see famous monuments and amazing nature such as the St. Louis Arch, the famous changing colors of the New Hampshire leaves, beautiful mountains, rivers, and other amazing landscapes and breath-taking views.

Highland dance hasn't helped to only become a better dancer or stay in shape. It helps me to make new friends, develop social skills, experience new things, and appreciate how incredible our earth really is.


Here is a picture of me dancing at our regional competition in Alma Michigan when i was about 8 or 9 years old.
