Cape Breton Step Dancers
Stepping Out
Cape Breton Step Dancing began in the early 1700s when Gaelic speaking settlers from Sctoland's
Western Isles and Highlands started arriving in Cape Breton, the Island portion of Canada's Nova
Scotia.
This form of hard shoe dancing, which has similarities to Irish STep Dancing and to
Appalachian Clogging, flourished and evolved in Cape Breton while it
disappeard in Scotland.
Kyla Groeschel's School of Highland Dance
Dating back to the 11th or 12th century, Highland dancing tells a story or reflects upon a way of
life. Requiring both athletic and artistic skill, dances tended to be performed by men to
ommemorate martial victory, conflict, joy, etc. as well as being used as an exercise by warriors.
Long hours of practice are required for a dancer to become proficient enough
to dance the intricate figures as lightly and gracefully as they should be danced.
