Why We Exist
The New Zealand Academy of Highland and National Dancing (Inc) (The
Academy) is a non-profit organisation established to foster and
maintain the Highland and National dances brought to New Zealand
by its Scottish Settlers.
The vision of our founders was based not only on excellence of
performance but rather on an holistic approach with an emphasis
on education through
- historical and theoretical knowledge
- fitness through exercise progression
- the achievement of dance quality through an understanding of
both the presentation and technical requirements.
The aim was a complete dancer, able to perform, to teach and to
adjudicate with confidence.
