London’s Scottish Dancing Classes restart in Chelsea 

Scottish Country Dancing classes to suit all abilities will start again on 6th January at the Marlborough Centre Sloane Avenue SW1, with qualified teachers, live music and the chance to stay fit while having ‘reel’ fun.  

January 2010 marks the start of a year of anniversary events to celebrate eighty years of the RSCDS and Scottish Country Dancing in London. The Burns Supper Ceilidh Dance on 16th January at St Columba’s Hall Pont Street will be the first event of the year.

“This anniversary is a real milestone for us, and we are looking forward to a year of celebrations. Scottish Dancing is a great way to have fun, make friends and to keep fit,” says  Jeff Robertson, Branch Chairman   “We are especially keen to ensure that people of all ages can get a chance to enjoy Scottish Country Dancing”

The London Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society was formed in 1930 and has been promoting Scottish Country Dancing since then. With over eight hundred members it is the largest branch of the Society in the UK and was the first one set up outside of Scotland.

Through its classes, dances and other activities it aims to promote the enjoyment of Scottish Country Dances in the London area. Most activities take place in Pont Street, Chelsea with dance classes on a Wednesday evening at Marlborough School, Sloane Avenue.  

Why not make a New Year’s resolution to join our classes which start on 6th January – details on www.rscdslondon.org.uk.

Notes for Editors

The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) has been promoting Scottish Dance all over the world for 80 years. Its London Branch (founded in 1930) was the first to be formed outside Scotland. Today the Branch runs classes and dances where you can join in the fun of Scottish Dance. It also holds classes and dances for young people to introduce them to Scottish dancing. Our prize-winning demonstration team gives displays of Scottish Dance all over the South East at events, Ceilidhs and private functions. In 2010 the London Branch celebrates its 80th anniversary with a series of special dances and events. For more info go to www.rscdslondon.org.uk or call 07813 363076.
