RSCDS Membership - Join as a New Member or Renew Membership
The Branches of the RSCDS are organized to:
- promote the enjoyment and appreciation of Scottish Country Dancing and Music
- engage in, preserve, and further the practice of traditional Scottish country dancing
- provide instruction in the practice of Scottish country dancing
- provide instruction to qualified candidates for the RSCDS Teachers' Examinations
Join the RSCDS by joining a branch. RSCDS membership is for one year: Washington Branch memberships run from July 1 through June 30, and Northern Virginia from September 1 through August 31. Members of one Branch may join another Branch as Associate members, but their RSCDS membership is paid by only one Branch.

NV Branch members may prepay class tuition in September, January, and May; otherwise the drop-in fee applies.
Washington Branch members are members of different classes and pay tuition fees directly to their home classes according to the class policy.
