"Fun, fitness and friendship"

 

Having fun, making friends and keeping fit are just some of the many benefits you can look forward to when you Dance Scottish and we are always looking for opportunities to involve new dancers.

You don’t have to wear tartan or a kilt (though you can if you like); you don’t need special footwear (comfortable flat shoes are fine); and you don’t have to bring a partner (Scottish Country Dance involves dancing with different partners).

So, why not give it a try? Whatever your age or ability, you will soon feel part of our dancing community.

"I greatly appreciate the innovative way that the RSCDS in Edinburgh has ensured that we all keep up our dance skills and stay connected to one another throughout this challenging time.  It was a real treat to have Angela teach the class accompanied by her husband, Graham? on the piano.
Thank you again to the imaginative team at RSCDS for implementing this social connection for all of us in the worldwide dancing community."
