SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCING CLASSES
Scottish Dancing is an excellent way to keep fit by taking regular exercise in a sociable setting. The music alone is enough to get you moving straight away! Traditional Scottish Country style includes Reels, Jigs and Strathspeys. There are thousands of these and a Social Dance will normally feature twenty or so in the programme. Every year, new dances written and published by enthusiasts from all over the world.
We can show you how to tackle a programme
like this with confidence, even if you have never danced some of the dances
before.
Our classes are more like going to a weekly club. The atmosphere is really
relaxed and informal. The teacher will be ready to tailor the help you are given
to match what you already know (or don't know) about the steps and the
formations, and will introduce you to these in easy stages.
Dancers will find they become more relaxed as dancing begins to require less concentration of thought!
RSCDS Wirral Branch has Scottish Country Dance classes to cater for all ages and
all abilities.
