What we’re about
For everybody who would love to have dance as a hobby but never found the right thing, this is for you.
Scottish Country Dance Victoria is getting the word out in 2025- we have the best style ever, and it’s for normal people, not athletes.
SCDVic is running a TryItOut Day on March 22, 2025 in Camberwell,
Secretary Julie Shelton says she still feels lucky to have found it, many years later.
‘We dance in sets so it's very sociable, it’s hand contact only, you don’t need partner, men and women do pretty much the same thing, nice sensible flat shoes… the list goes on. It’s a community style of dance, from weddings and ceidlidhs to the grand balls on Scotland’s aristocratic estate.
‘It’s not Highland Dance. No Sword Dance, no Highland Fling and Nooo…oo…oo Bagpipes.’
All you need is soft soled shoes to start, and a reasonable level of fitness. And, no, the kilt is never compulsory, even on the most formal occasions.
