Beginners' Workshop for Scottish Country Dancing
the Cambridge SCD is running a Workshop for Beginners/those wishing to refresh their skills commencing on the 26th April 2023 at 7pm. The workshop will run for 8 weeks for a cost of $30, which is deductible from a modest annual membership fee. At the end of the 8 week course you will be able to continue dancing on club nights. The workshop is to teach you the basic steps and formations to get you started. You don't need to be : fit or be Scottish or wear special clothing (loose fitting is ideal so you can move freely and soft-soled shoes are recommended - not trainers as they are too "grippy" on the wooden floor) and age is no barrier. Perhaps the children are now old enough to look after themselves for a few hours each Wednesday night to allow you to do something for yourself. It is a great way of making life-long friends and having fun, given the emphasis for Scottish Country Dancing is being social.
