The Donna Kimberley School of Highland Dancing(DKSoHD) was formed on 2001 with the aims of promoting the art of Highland Dancing by means of both teaching pupils and performing for the general public.

The Dancing school holds classes in Newcastle upon Tyne, Cramlington and Blyth and is open to anyone over the age of four regardless of experience or ability.

The DKSoHD takes great pride in performing for the local communities and regularly dance at retirement homes, care homes, charity and fundraising events and fairs and fetes, as well as these we are often seen out and about performing with The North Tyneside Pipe Band.

As well as dancing locally we also travel farther afield to Dance or music festivals such as Shepley Spring Festival in Yorkshire which we visit every year.

We have also performed abroad in Aviles, in Northern Spain, Lorient in France, Seeboden in Austria and at the XI,XII and XIII Worldfolkdance Festivals in Palma, Mallorca where we will also be taking part in the XIV Worldfolkdance Festival in 2013.

In August 2012 we are travelling to Paris France to dance in Paris City Centre and Disneyland.

Highland Dancing is a great way to get fit, meet new people and make new friends and our Dancing School also provide the opportunity to travel to dance festivals and experience the dance and culture of other towns, counties and countries.
