Marjorie-Anne Macleod Dent started the school in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario with 1 student.  She has maintained it since that time in a small, family oriented fashion.  Her daughters, Sarah and Jessica became involved as youngsters, eventually achieving full teaching certification themselves.  Some of the current students are the children of dancers in the original school.

Some students take classes just for the enjoyment of the dance - others become serious competitors and enjoy success at competitions and games throughout Canada,  the U.S. and Scotland.  Many students pursue certification through the various grade levels, and have been extremely successful at so doing.  Several have gone on to become teachers themselves.

Dancers often perform at special events, such as Robbie Burns Dinners, Tattoos, and special festivals.

There is a recital every second year and   traditionally there is a Christmas Ceilidh.

The School has a booster association which engages in fundraising and other promotional activities.
