What is Scottish country dancing?
Scottish country dancing (SCD) is a social form of dance, usually with 3-5 couples dancing in a 'set'. Scottish country dancing is less frenetic but more demanding, physically and mentally, than ceilidh dancing. However, once mastered, it is a rewarding, sociable, and interesting form of exercise for brain and body.There are SCD groups across the country and indeed in many corners of the world. Dances consist of a series of patterns or 'formations', some of which may seem complex at first, but are soon accomplished after a few repetitions. For a more detailed explanation of SCD, please click here.

The classes start with easy ceilidh-type dances, and various formations are gradually introduced. Although it may seem confusing at first, most dancers find their expertise gradually increases after a few weeks, and new movements are more easily assimilated. The classes have experienced volunteers who are more than happy to help new dancers through the dances. The dance sets are comprised of couples, but no partner is required as there is a lot of mixing of couples and sets during the evening.
