 RSCDS - Seattle Branch Photo Album

The Seattle Branch has a traditional Robert Burns Night in January of each year.  It is an occasion for toasting to the lads and lassies,  presentation of haggis and other Scottish delicacies, and dancing to Scottish  music.  Both dancers and non-dancers join us for the annual event.

In March 2007 a group of us went to the Health Expo in Seattle to get folks interested in "dancing to stay fit".  Children as young as 7 and seniors from the Northwest joined us to try our dance style.

Bellingham Ball 2007

Bellingham Scottish Country Dancers have a Ball each November following a day of classes and Ceilidh the evening before.  A large number of Seattle SCD dancers traveled north to attend this great weekend event.  The following pictures were taken at the Bellingham Ball 2007 by Deborah Kelley.  Thanks to Deborah for her great shots and to all who have made this a memorable event.
