OUR STUDIO
Jamieson Studio of Dance was established in 2018 by Tessa Bond.
At Jamieson Studio of Dance our goal is to foster a love of dance and enable each dancer to reach their full potential. Our dance classes build confidence, coordination and encourage creativity and expression in a fun and supportive environment. Dancing assists in the development of fine and gross motor skills and improves strength, balance, fitness and flexibility.
All classes include traditional Highland dance technique. Highland Dancing originated in Scotland and was initially a male only form of dance however, the dance form has evolved and today both males and females participate and perform all over the world.
Dancers have the opportunity to compete, perform and sit exams or just come along to classes for fun and friendship.
