A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DANCE:

                                             

Scottish Country Dancing is a very social type of dance and is danced throughout the world.  Many long lasting friendships are made while participating in the various functions.  Beginners are always welcome to the classes and each individual does not have to bring a partner to the class.  Since we are located in one of the most popular vacation spots in the world, it isn’t unusual to have dancers from different parts of the world stop by our weekly classes to visit.
