We investigate the collective magnetoplasmon excitations in a quantum dot
containing finite number of electrons in the high magnetic field limit. We
consider the electrons in the lowest Landau level and neglect mixing
between the higher Landau levels. The dispersion relation of these edge
modes are estimated following the energy weighted sum-rule approach. In
this finite size system the edge magnetoplasmon modes have different
multipolarities (or angular momemtum k). Their dependence on the
magnetic field and on the system size is investigated. With increasing
magnetic field, energy of these collective modes decreases and in the bulk
limit they become gapless. We also consider the breathing mode of a dot
in the presence of a strong magnetic field, and the energy of this mode
approaches the cyclotron frequency
