Description
Revised date due to inclement weather closure!
New in 2024! Scottish Country Dancing is the social dancing of Scotland without any of the competitive aspects of Highland dancing. It has a long, interesting history and is one of the root influences for US folk dancing. Everyone is welcome to come learn the basics at these free workshops and enjoy the lively and traditional music of Scotland. No need for a partner or special shoes (dance slippers are recommended though). Come to one or all!
