Let's Dance!

At last the benefits of dancing are being celebrated! The initiative started by Angela Rippon to encourage everyone to dance is being supported with a special session on Monday 3rd March in Sutton Coldfield, where we will welcome all newcomers to Scottish dancing!

Join us at 7.30pm at Sacred Heart church hall in north Sutton Coldfield, Byron Court, B74 4EH. Full tuition by a qualified friendly teacher - lots of laughs are promised!

Scottish dancing is fun, and helps you to keep fit as well as being a sociable activity. Come and give it a try - you'll find we are very welcoming.

If you want to try us before then, we are also meeting on Mondays in February.

Questions?

What should I wear? Any light clothing will be fine. We suggest layers; Scottish dancing is not a strenuous exercise, but it is exercise and you are likely to get warm so may want to remove a jumper, for example. Bring comfortable shoes, preferably light, ideally with a thin sole.

Do I need to bring a partner? No, we will change partners regularly.

Can I bring a partner who doesn't dance? Indeed, you can. They will find plenty of people to talk to and the tea break is particularly sociable!

 

Ceilidhs

We sometimes help groups arrange ceilidhs; if you would like to hold a ceilidh for your organisation, please contact us. We have had many satisfied groups. Here is an example of a letter after a Burns Night ceilidh dancing which we led in 2024 for a Punjabi group: " You are such a wonderful leader!  Your instructions were clear and the dance floor was full!  That tells something about the interest & enthusiasm you generated."

A ceilidh is a bit like a barn dance; the MC helps everyone enjoy simple dances to lively music.

If you have any more questions concerning Scottish Country Dancing or want to get more information please email us at enquiries@rscdssuttoncoldfield.org.uk or phone 07900 896908‬.
