About This Activity

Description

We're sorry, but online registration is not allowed for this activity. Please contact us during regular business hours for registration information.

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 or flat-soled shoes are recommended though). Come to one or all!
