We have never experienced a time like this. To help support the worldwide community of Scottish country dancers, we are issuing a series of newsletters to our members and subscribers - Dance Scottish At Home. This will develop and improve as time goes on, and we will be responding to what you would like to see and read. Our aim is to include articles, music, games, podcasts and online classes that will entertain and connect us with our dancing friends across the globe.

You are encouraged to share Dance Scottish At Home with dancers and musicians in your Group, Branch and wider network. We are all part of the Scottish dance family and now is the time to show it. 

Your feedback and ideas are welcome – please click here to share them with us.

RSCDS news

A Christmas message from RSCDS Chairman Lorna Ogilvie:

"At the end of an extraordinary nine months, it is a very real pleasure to have the opportunity to personally thank everyone who has contributed to both the DSAH newsletter and the weekly classes. They have entertained us, lifted our spirits, and brought the ‘RSCDS family’ closer together than ever before. To all contributors, teachers and musicians, and especially the production team, thank you for a job well done.

As Chairman, on behalf of the RSCDS, I join with the DSAH team in sending very best wishes, for Christmas and in 2021, when we all hope for a return to the dance floor."

"I greatly appreciate the innovative way that the RSCDS has ensured that we all keep up our dance skills and stay connected to one another throughout this challenging time.  It was a real treat to have Angela teach the class accompanied by her husband, Graham on the piano.

Thank you again to the imaginative team at RSCDS for implementing this social connection for all of us in the worldwide dancing community."
