We are people of all ages and backgrounds
who enjoy music, dancing, and good company. No prior dance
experience is necessary to get started with this dancing style and partners are not
required. It's a great way to meet new people socially and
keep active physically. Interested in trying
Scottish Country Dancing? Come by yourself or with a friend. You
need not be Scottish to enjoy the fun. Wear flat, soft-soled
shoes without heels and come have a good time. A kilt is not
required! As you begin to master Scottish dances, you will
become familiar with reels, strathspeys and jigs and master a
Poussette, pas de basque and an allemande. Look at our class
locations for the one you are nearest to and come try this
traditional dance form. On our dance calendar you will see
where we are dancing next.
Scottish Country Dancing is the traditional ballroom dancing of
Scotland. The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS), based
in Edinburgh, was founded in 1923 to preserve this joyful, social
dance tradition. Since then Scottish Country Dancing has spread
all over the world. Did you ever go to a Scottish event
where the whole group linked hands at the end of the evening and
sang Auld Lang Syne? We often do. Here are the words
to Auld Lang Syne.
We promise you that you will meet new folks who are passionate
about dancing. Come Join Us. Special
