Our Community Work

At SkyeDance we feel very passionate about creating a sense of community through our classes and projects which is why in March 2020 we began networking with different rural islands surrounding Skye. Due to lockdown we offered all of our classes online and taught young people from islands such as Eigg, Muck and Barra, both separately in their own classes and mixed in with our SkyeDance students classes. We now provide weekly dance sessions online to the islands of Eigg and Muck with the hope to visit sometime next year when the government guidelines allow us to.

Minginish Outreach Project allows children from out with Portree to be involved in dance. The project started in August 2021 as an after-school dance class for children in the surrounding area. It grew quickly and there are now two classes taking place every Monday evening in the Minginish Community Hall. It is a helpful stepping stone for the children in more secluded parts of the Island to be involved with SkyeDance. We now have children going into High School who will join our Senior Dance Classes in Portree. The project has been a great success and we hope to keep it going as long as possible.
