Alexandria School of Highland Dance

The mission of the Alexandria School of Highland Dance is to celebrate and spread the joy of traditional Scottish Highland Dance through classes for children and adults at all levels in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. Through our long affiliation with the Washington Scottish Pipe Band, we regularly perform at St. Andrew’s Society of Washington DC events such as the Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan at the National Cathedral, Burns Nicht Supper, and the Tartan Ball, as well as other festivals, parades, and private events. Dancers also have the opportunity to participate in Highland dance competitions across the country. Our three instructors – Anne-Marie Berens, Amy Jenkins, and Amy Shields – are members of the British Association of Teachers of Dancing and ScotDance USA.
