Welcome to our new dancers! Scottish Country Dancing is the best dance style ever for sheer enjoyment and it is for normal people, not athletes!

So what is it? It is a traditional dance style from Scotland. Lively jigs and reels, elegant strathspeys, beautiful music and a light sprinkling of tradition. 

It is not highland dance; that is a performance style of dance, and quite different. Scottish Country Dancing is danced in sets, often of eight dancers in two lines. Dancers perform patterns of movement together and, as the dance progresses, everyone gets a chance to dance in every position. Partners change for each dance.

No need to bring a partner, but you can if you want to. The more the merrier.

Dress code for our group is comfortable clothes for dancing and soft flat shoes

How do new dancers start? A beginner’s course is ideal, when available. Otherwise, come along and check it out. Beginners are welcome to watch until they are ready to join in. The group routinely  learns dances from spoken  instructions and dances are always walked through, so new dancers get a  chance to learn every dance with the group.

Visitors welcome any Thursday night and/or 2nd & 4th Friday mornings.
