In March alone, dancers from Kathy White’s Island Highland Dance Academy have brought home no fewer than 88 medals and two trophies from three competitions.
White, who has been coaching Highland dance for more than 40 years out of her Duncan studio and four years in Langford, said the recent string of success is the result of her dancers’ passion and hard work.
“The kids hung in there, they were tuned in twice a week,” said White.
At the end of April, academy dancer Cierra Miller is set to participate in the prestigious Virginia International Tattoo, which sees civilian and military performers from all over North America gather in Norfolk, Va.
