Scottish country dancing in London
Do you:
· live in London or visit regularly?
· enjoy ceilidhs and reeling but wish you knew the steps a bit better?
· want to learn new steps and more dances?
· love to dance but don’t have a partner?
Or maybe you are already a Scottish Country dancer but don’t yet dance in London.
If you answer ‘yes’ to any or all of the above – come and join us!
Scottish country dancing is fun, friendly, open to all and, with branches around the world, offers an immediate social network to travellers. You can come with friends or come alone, there will be a warm welcome and some great dancing waiting for you.
You can Dance Scottish pretty much every night of the week in London. RSCDS London offers classes, social dances as well as open air dancing in the summer and can help you to connect with the wider Scottish dance community in London.
