Student information
Registration is open! The School of Scottish Arts (SSA) will be held July 1-6, 2023, in the weekend and days leading up to the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games.
Highland dance students of all levels over the age of 8 are welcome to attend the School of Scottish Arts. You know your child best, and we trust you to evaluate whether your child is ready for a multi-day overnight camp experience. Dancers will be expected to:
- Wake up on their own
- Move about the schedule on time, including to and from meals and class
- Attend and participate attentively in class
- Shower daily and be responsible for their personal hygiene
- Go to bed on their own each night
If you have a dancer who is interested in attending, but you'd prefer them to attend as a day student and not stay overnight, please reach out to help@schoolofscottisharts.com to discuss.
