New spaces and new faces to start the 2022/23 season! So excited to finally have a brand new class this year (hopefully adding another dancer next week) and to welcome back so many familiar faces. Even had a surprise guest I didn’t know had moved to town!

I’m a day late, but I couldn’t have been prouder of these dancers yesterday! The Saanich Fair is not the easiest competition as there are so many distractions. Some personal goals achieved, some medals earned, and a few things to take home to work on.

It was a HOT one tonight…. But we have another competition looming so no rest for these dancers!

A HUGE congrats to Annalise Lam from Nanaimo for becoming the Junior World Champion yesterday (after winner her first Canadian championship in July). Well done Brigadoon Dance Academy and Diena for getting her there. Go to the Brigadoon page for some really lovely photos. Well done again to all the dancers!

What an amazing afternoon in Cobble Hill! Three of these dancers danced the Lilt for the first time today and one did Lilt AND Flora. Arabella’s done those dances before but it was only the second time doing the Reel! All placed in their new dances! And I successfully pinned 4 National plaids in record time! Special shout-out to Emma who won her first medal today!

Oh my goodness they worked hard today! That’s what happens when we take a week off I guess!

Lorna: I haven’t danced a whole sword since before COVID.

Solved that!

When the class has just been entirely too much Flora for your Intermediates and Premiers… you pull out an OLD school jig step! Still a favourite!

A great loss to the Highland dancing world

Sad news. A good friend of the British Columbia Highland Games, Alan Walters, has passed away.

The Highland dancing piper, judge, piobaireachd expert, teacher, golfer, curler and fisher died this past week at his home in Surrey, BC.

More details will be available on the BC Pipers' Association website when they become available.

Rest in Peace, old friend.

Amazing day of dancing! It’s was an 8.5 hour day but I wouldn’t change it for the world - it’s just not the May long weekend if I don’t spend an entire Sunday with my dance family ♥️

05/22/2022

Good morning from the Victoria Highland Games!

05/21/2022

Wait! These aren’t highland dancers… or are they?? Good luck Holland and Arabella who are competing in Irish dance today and Highland tomorrow!

Working hard in the studio today…

05/05/2022

I’m always trying to capture those awesome action shots… but sometimes you just need to appreciate that quiet moment at the end of class.

I’ve loved everything I’ve purchased from here and they are very responsive to questions! More new designs on the way it looks like!

Despite the fact that 5/6 of these lassies competed yesterday, they were in the studio today for class! The swords were rough yesterday so guess what we worked on today??
