Today we know
Highland Dancing
as the traditional solo dance of
Scotland.
H
owever, centuries ago Scottish regiments used
Highland Danc
e
as a form of exercise to keep the troops in shape and ready for battle. It was not until the early 19th
century when
Highland Dance
evolved into a highly competitive sport. At the turn of the century, women began competing. With judges focusing on technical aspects, timing and general deportment, dancers are required to commit long hours of training and practice to be successful.
Highland Dancers
are admired for their athletic and artistic skill. They are an integral part of any
Highland Games
