We are so excited to welcome you to Madison for a fun day of Highland Dancing!
We are returning to the wonderful Oakwood Village University Woods' auditorium and arts venue, which is a fantastic semi-professional theatre in an assisted living community. We are so excited to offer a varied mix of dances with loads of chances to "get out there and dance" and to celebrate the second stop on the Tartan Trail!
