Do you want to learn how to dance to the music you love? Then come
learn Scottish Country Dancing!
Scottish Country
Dancing is related to Square Dancing, Contra Dancing, and English
Country Dancing, and is done in sets of three or four couples. It‘s
a great way to meet new people, get some exercise, and enjoy
wonderful music in a friendly, social dance atmosphere!
Although kilts are
welcome, our weekly classes are casual, and require only soft-soled,
low-heeled shoes and the enthusiasm to learn, have fun, and get some
great exercise in a friendly, social dance environment. No partner
or experience is necessary.
Our Friday night
beginner class series begins October 2nd in Balboa Park
at Casa Del Prado Room 203 at 7:15. We also have Tuesday night class
in Poway. Check our website for more information:
