Friday Basic

Scottish Country Dancing Classes

Sponsored by the Washington, D.C. Branch

Summer Dancing: We will meet on June 25, July 23, and August 27, 2010!

What:

Scottish Country Dancing is a modern form of social dancing based on Scottish dance traditions with roots going back for centuries. Dancers in sets of 3 or more couples work together to dance a series of formations to driving reels, jaunty jigs, snappy strathspeys or lilting slow airs.

Friday Basic Classes cover fundamentals of technique like footwork, handing, and phrasing in a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Each evening also includes some easy, fun dances using basic steps and some figures.

Why:

For fun! Make new friends, listen to great music, and get some exercise!

Who:

You! Classes are open to all. No partner needed! No experience necessary!

Soft-soled shoes and clothing allowing freedom of movement are recommended.

Friday evenings, 8-10 p.m. Schedule subject to change – please call Yvonne at 703-624-0795 to confirm.
