About Scottish Country Dancing
We are
members of the Winchester Branch of the RSCDS, which stands for the
Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. There are many Branches and
affiliated
groups worldwide. The Scottish Country Dance Society was formed in 1923
but
the Royal title was bestowed by King George VI in 1951. The Queen is a
keen
dancer herself as was her late mother, the Queen Mother.
Our particular Branch was formed over fifty years ago. We run many
events
throughout the year, some strictly for dancers and others for anyone
who wants to
try Scottish Country Dancing as a hobby. You do not have to be Scottish
to join.
There are clubs in almost every country in the world so we take our
dancing
shoes with us when we are travelling. It is a great way to make friends
and also
keeps you fit. You are also guaranteed to have a good laugh too - it is
such good
fun.
