ハイランドの丘陵でダンシングの1週間
ウィンタースクールはソサエティの最上級の年次イベントです。5日間の場所は四つ星のアソル・パレス・ホテル、英国および世界各地から150人のダンサーがやってきます。ハイライトは、ブレア・アソル城内のすばらしいセッティングで行なわれる華麗なボールです。
It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of Winter School 2021. The Board has taken this difficult decision due to the continuing uncertainty and restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have any queries, please get in touch with the staff team.
ウィンタースクール
ウィンタースクールはRSCDSの主要イベントの1つで、参加者は四つ星のビクトリア朝のアソル・パレス・ホテルに宿泊します。最上の快適さが得られます。
クラスは数か所、ハイランド丘陵の落ち着いた村、ピトロッホリーで行なわれます。会場は歩きでも車でも行ける距離にあり、一部はホテル内でも行なわれます。クラスは午前中で、午後はオプショナルのクラスないしセッションがあり、みなさんの足が大丈夫ならばですが、1日中ダンシングで過ごすことができます。
