OUR STUDIO
Jamieson Studio of Dance was established in 2018 by Tessa Bond.
At Jamieson Studio of Dance, we are passionate about inspiring a lifelong love of dance while helping every dancer grow in confidence and achieve their personal best. Our classes provide a fun, encouraging, and supportive environment where dancers can develop coordination, creativity, musicality, and self-expression. Through dance, students also build strength, balance, flexibility, fitness, and important fine and gross motor skills.
Our classes focus on traditional Highland dance technique. Originating in Scotland, Highland dancing began as a male-only dance style and has since grown into a vibrant and celebrated art form enjoyed by dancers of all ages and genders across the world today.
Students at Jamieson Studio of Dance can choose to participate in competitions, performances, and examinations, or simply enjoy classes for fun, friendship, and fitness.
