Reid School of Highland Dance

THIS is what it’s all about; creating good humans above all else. And what a blessing to be finding life-long friends in the process!

I took this picture after London finished her reel in the wrong spot, at the SDCCS Open Championship. “Open” means that there are dancers from anywhere in the world in her category.

I went to find her, and turned the corner, to see this giant tartan hug.

These kids did this, unprompted by any adult.

London will return the favour to these competitors…who just happen to grow into friends.

Highland Dancers are the most amazing people, even when they are just 8 or 9 yrs old.

We can’t wait to perform today at the Brisbane Boys College Tartan Spectacular!

Highland dance teaches so much more than just the steps.

It builds resilience. Confidence. Discipline. Courage. The kind of life skills that show up long after the music stops.

Whether you’re a current competitor, a former dancer, or a dance parent watching it all unfold; you’ll recognise these⭐️

Which one resonates most with you? 👇
