History of
Marg’s Highland Dance Wear Inc.
Marg has been meeting the dance
supply needs of highland dancers in Alberta for over 18 years and over the past 6 years
has aggressively expanded to service all of Canada, the United States and the world via
the Internet. Marg has extensive knowledge of highland dancing from her experience as a
parent to the Johnson dancing family and even her own highland dancing days in Bow Hill,
Scotland. Two of Marg’s children were champion highland dancers and they now run a
successful Highland Dance
School and are members of the British
Association of Teachers of Dancing.
Marg is a life member of both the Calgary and Alberta Highland Dancing Associations
where she spent over twenty years as a volunteer and holder of several executive office
positions. Upon the receipt of her life memberships in the Alberta and Calgary Highland
Dancing Associations she was commended for her commitment to providing Alberta dancers
with quality and affordable Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing regulation
costumes. Marg’s costumes meet all current Scottish Official Board of Highland
Dancing regulations and she keeps up with these regulations through her active
participation in highland dancing associations and relationships with highland dancing
professionals. Many champion dancers wear costumes, plaids, and shoes supplied by Marg and
she prides herself on both her affordable prices and quality products.
