HIGHLAND DANCING CLASSES
Highland Dancing classes for Boys and Girls are held at the Caledonian Hall, 5 Michelle Road,
Wigram, commencing on the 2nd April. All new entrants should be at the hall by 9.30am for
a starting time of 9.45am. Boys and Girls from Age 5 years upwards plus any that are due
to turn 5 in the near future will be very welcome. This year we are making a special drive
to attract more boys to join our many young female dancers. The learning of Highland
Dancing contributes to children’s bodily strength, musical appreciation and co-ordination,
as well as providing the opportunity to socialise with their peers. Highland Dancing can
become a life-time interest. All information on our classes can be obtained by emailing
calyhighland@paradise.net.nz or c.cole@clear.net.nz Our Caledonian Society Classes are
kept at a minimal cost to accommodate family budgets. All enquiries will be welcomed.
