Royal Scottish Country Dance Society
As the social dance of Scotland, Scottish country dancing has been shaped by the traditions from an earlier era when Dancing Masters toured the countryside teaching the jigs, reels & strathspeys unique to that land. It is a dance form infused with the spirit of the clans, tempered by the etiquette & elegance of the 18th century assembly. Its music is alive with the evocative rhythms & melodies of its Celtic origin – and instantly captivating.
Scottish country dancing is as much fun as it is challenging – great exercise for body and mind. It’s also unbelievably affordable – it is Scottish after all – and you don’t need to bring a partner – we provide them. Furthermore it’s done all over the world, supported by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) in Scotland.
There are over 500 Scottish country dancers in the Vancouver region in over a dozen clubs, often dancing several times a week. We invite you to come and join us. For more information visit the RSCDS
