  CHDA Closed Pre Premier Workshop

  We are very excited to share the news about our upcoming Pre Premier Workshop!!!  Our dancers are in for a treat!  This will be a great way to prepare for our Chinook Open Competition and get some valuable insights from two very respected Highland judges.

  We are delighted to have Fiona Lee from Vancouver and Katie Lee from Edmonton as instructors.  Both these judges are very well known in the Highland Dance community as both are World Champion highland dancers and young, outgoing Judges.  They both bring a wealth of experience to our Workshop and I’m sure our Pre Premier dancers will be very excited about this opportunity!!

  This Workshop is a perk of your membership and is FREE to all CHDA Pre Premier dancers.
