4 Weeks of Confidence, Courage & Connection

Confidence Camp is a structured 4-week Highland dance foundations experience designed for children who are ready to try something new, be encouraged, and grow alongside others.

Each week, your child will:

  • Learn Highland dance foundations — rhythm, coordination, posture, and footwork
  • Be challenged at their level with encouragement and support
  • Build friendships with a small group of peers who are all starting together
  • Develop confidence, discipline, and courage through consistent effort
  • Be mentored directly by Trisha in a small enough group to receive real attention

The goal isn't perfection. The goal is growth.

By week 4, most parents notice a visible difference — in posture, in self-assurance, and in how their child talks about class.

What to Expect on Day One

Your child walks into a small, welcoming studio. 

No more than 10 children — all beginners, all new, all starting together.

 Class begins with simple movement — rhythm, coordination, posture. Everything is demonstrated, broken down, and practiced with encouragement. No child is singled out. No child is left behind. By the end of the first class, your child will have already accomplished something they've never done before.

Each week builds on the last. Same group. Same teacher. Same encouraging environment. That consistency is where confidence grows.

More Than Dance Steps

The steps are only part of the story. What families discover in Confidence Camp goes much deeper:
Friendships — formed through shared challenge and weekly connection
Confidence — built through trying hard things and succeeding
Discipline — learned through structure that feels empowering, not rigid
Courage — developed by doing something new and seeing it through
Community — a small group that becomes something your child belongs to
Mentorship — direct, personal guidance from someone who genuinely caresMany families start because of curiosity. They stay because of what their child becomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at Hello@SDHighlandDance.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Not at all. Confidence Camp is designed for complete beginners. Every child starts at the same place.


Comfortable clothes they can move in (leggings, shorts, t-shirt). Socks or soft-soled shoes (ballet slippers or gymnastics shoes work well). No special equipment needed.


Completely normal. The small group and Trisha's experience means every child is met where they are. Many of our most confident students started as the quietest in the room.


Let Trisha know and she'll make sure your child doesn't fall behind.


Families who want to continue can join our ongoing academy program. There's no obligation — Confidence Camp is a complete experience on its own.


$50 deposit secures your child's spot. The remaining $99 is due before the first class. Total investment: $149 for 4 weeks.


Parents are welcome to observe the first few minutes of the first class. After that, we find children focus and grow best independently — but you'll always receive updates on their progress.
