Reeling is a type of Scottish country dancing. It is social, energetic, easy to learn and great fun.

Reeling is a type of Scottish dancing. It is social, energetic, easy to learn and great fun. Reeling is probably the closest form of Scottish dancing to how dances were done in the 17th century.The dancing is more fluid and less ballet like compared to the formal Royal Scottish Country Dance type style, although it tends to be more defined than barn dances or ceilidh dancing.

Teaching Evenings

We start with the basic steps and soon have you dancing reels. We talk and walk through all the dances before going on to dance them. We are happy to accommodate requests for specific dances. Soft drinks & nibbles provided.

Social Evenings (no formal teaching)

We play a selection of the popular reels and a few of the more unusual reels. Experienced and new reelers are all welcome. If you have any questions or want any individual tuition please see any member of the committee. Wine, soft drinks & nibbles provided.

We reel at Lady Margaret's School, Parson's Green, London SW6 4UN

When coming from the Tube: Lady Margaret's is the second building on the left hand side after the White Horse Pub.

Enter the gates of the school and then head through the archway and turn left towards the hall. You'll hear the music.
