Cotter Academy of Highland Dancing

We are thrilled to announce that Heather Cameron has officially passed her RSOBHD Judges’ Examination. Heather’s journey began in Scotland with the Dawn Fraser School of Dancing , and we have been incredibly fortunate to have her call Australia and Cotter Academy home for the past few years. Passing this challenging exam is a testament to the lifetime of dedication, discipline, and hard work she has poured into the art of Highland dance. It has been a true pleasure working alongside Heather to help her achieve this career milestone. We offer her our warmest congratulations and look forward to seeing the next chapter unfold. Congratulations Heather on a well deserved success! Enjoy the celebrations🥂
