What is Scottish Country Dancing?
It's the social dancing of Scotland. It’s not highland dancing which is solo but rather social dancing. It is usually danced in sets of 4 couples, to the music of the accordion, fiddle or keyboard.
Who We Are
We are a group of all ages and backgrounds who enjoy the fun of Scottish Country Dancing. No, you don't have to be Scottish to join. We provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for learning the dance and enjoying each other's company.
New Dancers Are Welcome!
The first three classes are free for those who have never before danced Scottish. A Welcome Dance is being planned for Saturday, Sept. 6th, 2025 in St. Luke's Church Hall, Nelson St. In the happy event that you decide to join us, the $5 fees already paid will count toward the full annual fee.
