Try Scottish Country Dancing
How do I try Scottish country dancing?
In February and March many clubs have open nights for new dancers.
In addition to teaching at clubs, there are region-wide and nationwide classes. Classes and tuition are available for dancers of all levels from beginner to experienced.
Events for new dancers will ease you into it. Like most activities, there is an initial learning curve.
Here are places that you can try Scottish country dancing – where the evenings in February welcome new dancers.
