Scottish Highland Dancing is the traditional dancing of Scotland. Each dance has a story behind it and has been performed for hundreds of years.

The dances were used to keep soldiers in shape for battle - creating and maintaining great stamina and endurance. When dancing a 6-step Highland Fling, dancers jump 192 times, while displaying precise, intricate footwork. Highland dancers have highly developed muscles, and burn more calories in half hour of dance than a 170 lbs. man would in an hour of soccer.
