Classes

Legacy Guild

The Legacy Guild is where mastery becomes mentorship. Reserved for graduates, alumni, and dancers who continue as teachers, leaders, or performers, this level carries the deep responsibility of passing Highland tradition forward.

Masters Circle

The Masters Circle is where elite technique meets unwavering character. Premier-level dancers earn their Emerald Crest by showing mastery, maturity, and a deep understanding of Highland artistry. They assist younger classes, mentor peers, and represent the Academy with integrity and kindness.

Elite Progression

Elite Advanced dancers sharpen artistry, endurance, and technical precision through 2+ classes each week. At this level, skill evolves into leadership as dancers become visible role models for younger students.

2+ classes each week
Elite Pathway

With 2 classes each week, dancers refine technique, learn longer combinations, and build real endurance and artistry. This is where showing up consistently becomes a source of pride — and where teamwork starts to matter as much as skill.
