Scottish Country Dance Club

Scottish Country Dance Club

A lot of people are turned off the thought of Scottish Country Dancing, either because they think it sounds boring and old fashioned, or because they're too intimidated to show up and risk making a fool of themselves in front of a whole lot of perfectionists.

We're neither of these. Scottish Country Dancing can provide a fun time with a little exercise. We've been in existence for 5 years, and as well as being affiliated to VUWSA, belong to the Wellington Region of the New Zealand Scottish Country-Dance Society. We're not all students, we have a number of ex and non-students to provide a bit of variety. We have a teacher to show us the basic steps and different dances, but the main emphasis is on having a good time, which we manage to do as we bumble foot our way through one dance after another. The Honourable Secretary is one of the most un-coordinated people you're ever likely to see, so if she can manage anyone can!

We do have an opportunity to get dressed up and go to formal dances, which are held by all the clubs in the Wellington Region. Those who went had a really great time at the Lower Hutt formal a fort-night ago, and the Region Ball held last weekend. We'd like to see a whole lot of new faces, and particularly urge any prospective beginners to lose their shyness and join in with us. We meet every Tuesday 5.30 - 7.30 pm in the dance room of the gym. For further information ring Megan, 738-206.
