Macdonald Highland Dancers

A Saturday well spent… 💙

Our dancers headed to Montreal for a great competition hosted by .hda
Well done to all! 👏🏼👏🏼

We capped it off with a fun 80th birthday celebration for a fellow Highland dancer 🎉🥳🎉

Day ✌🏼

Choreography day brought it all — hard work, determination, and so much heart.

From solos to group numbers, our dancers took on so much this weekend, and it showed in every performance.
Between dances came the hugs, the encouragement, and a whole lot of love.

We couldn’t be prouder ❤️

A whirlwind weekend at the first OHDA competition of the year!

Successful Day One and we are so proud of all our dancers. Well done everyone ✨

✨ December, what a way to finish the year! ✨

This past month took our dancers everywhere - performing for diverse audiences, closing out the year at our final competition, marching in the Metcalfe Santa Parade, and wrapping it all up on CTV Morning Live to promote Hogmanay with the Scottish Society of Ottawa.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work, commitment, and dedication our dancers have shown throughout 2025. Their passion, resilience, and teamwork continue to shine both on and off the stage.

Thank you to our dancers, families, and community for another unforgettable year - we can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store!

Grateful to have Dr. Derek Haughton from Ascension Chiropractic in class tonight! We learned how simple alignment fixes can boost power, balance, and reduce aches—game changer.

We’re ready to dance smarter&stronger. ✨💪🏼
