History of Highland

Highland dancing is a form of dance that originated in Scotland. In can be classified as a national dance, meaning that it is specific to a country and culture. Originally, Highland Dancing was restricted to men only; as such, its movements characterise the dancer's athleticism, power, and strength. Today, female dancers greatly outnumber their male counterparts, and a series of ladies' dances have been created for them, comprised of Balletic movements and softer choreography.
