About Scottish Country Dancing
Scottish Country Dancing is a very social form of dancing danced in ‘sets’ usually with four ‘couples’ – unlike Highland Dancing which is usually solo dancing.
Scottish dress is not required to attend clubs, dances or balls and you don’t need a partner to join a dance club.
The RSCDS New Zealand Branch Inc is an autonomous local association of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. It aims to:
- Preserve and further the practice of traditional Scottish Country Dances and modern dances in traditional style
- Provide or assist in providing instruction in the dancing of Scottish Country Dances
- Promote the enjoyment and appreciation of Scottish Country Dancing and music.
