Classes

Times and dates for 2026/27

We hold classes at 4.30-6pm every Tuesday and Friday 6-7.30pm during term time. 

Our Tuesday class is held in Butchart dance studio. This is our beginners and technique class. We recommend that beginners start in this class and then once they have gained more confidence come to both our beginners class and general class!

Our Friday class is held in MR614 (MacRobert Building) and is our general class, which is open to everyone. 

You are more than welcome to come along to either or both classes! Beginners are welcome to come to either class, although the Tuesday class will be more focused towards them than the Friday class.

Below are the locations of our dance classes; on the left is where our Friday classes are held (MR614 - Macrobert building) and on the right is where our Tuesday classes are held (Dance Studio - Butchart centre).

What should I wear?

Footwear 

You DO NOT need special Country Dancing shoes (like black ballet shoes), particularly if you are just trying Scottish Country out for the first time. The most important thing is that they're comfortable. Trainers are fine when you are just starting out, but jazz or ballet shoes can also be worn and will make footwork easier than trainers. 

Clothing

There are no particular clothes that you must wear for class or events. 

• For class, people tend to just wear casual or sports clothes (wear anything you are comfortable in). 

• For events, people tend to dress up a bit more and wear clothing such as dresses, kilts, shirts, etc. However, don't worry if you don't have any dressy clothes; everyone is always happy to share, and our dance teacher has a whole collection she is happy to lend out. So don't feel you have to go out and buy something special for dances, and don't let it stop you coming to events!
