Scottish Country Dancing

Steve is giving advance notice of his planned programmes for Wednesdays. See the Wednesday class page for links to his programme and the spreadsheet that shows which dances have been done: http://scottishdancingreading.org/index.php/classes/intermediategeneral/

On Sunday 10 November we held our annual tea dance. Here is a link to brief report with some pictures: http://scottishdancingreading.org/index.php/events-2/past-events/tea-dance-10-november-2019/

The next event will be the all classes Christmas Party on Wednesday 18 December.

It will be followed on Wednesday 22 January 2020 by the all classes Burns Night Supper and Social Dance – haggis, neeps and tatties will be served!

Then on Saturday 1 February we will hold our annual ball. This year we are back in the Abbey School. Tickets will be on sale at classes or contact the club email address. Here is a link to the crib for the dances which have been selected from favourites over the years:

This year, rather than publishing a book of new dances, the RSCDS has published a book called 30 Popular Dances and accompanying CDs. This new book includes a mixture of traditional and non-traditional dances, all selected by branches for popularity in their area.

The book and CDs were launched at the RSCDS Annual Gathering (AGM) in November. Prices have been announced and  the book is £12. There are two CDs – a new recording by James Coutts Scottish Dance Band at £14.30 and a second CD from archive recordings of various bands at £10.
