Who we are

We are a group of 100+ who enjoy the fun and challenge of Scottish Country Dancing. We are all ages and all backgrounds (no, you don't have to be Scottish!) We provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for learning the dance and enjoying each other's company.

What we do

We have weekly classes from September to May where our experienced teachers provide instruction on all the facets of Scottish Country Dance. In September we have a free welcome dance, but we also welcome newcomers to come to our beginner class anytime to check it out. Your first 3 classes are free!

Join Us!

When you decide Scottish Country Dance is for you and are ready to attend classes, you can register as a member. In addition to our classes, membership includes our monthly newsletter giving news on our dances and events, and membership in the global RSCDS organization. We look forward to seeing you!
