REGISTRATION 

Basic: Previous attendance at RSCDS dance lessons (or classes) is essential. This class will focus on basic steps and the most popular formations, helping you improve your dancing and giving you the skills to learn new dances more easily. Some previous attendance at Scottish Country Dance classes is essential. In this class you will have fun learning the “moves”

Intermediate: Dancers must be able to dance all the basic steps and formations confidently. This class will work on increasing your awareness of team work, handing, phrasing, and covering as well as expanding your repertoire, enabling you to dance more complicated dances.

Dancers may be reassigned at the discretion of teaching staff.
Dancers under 16 years of age accepted only with special permission.
