Country Dancing E-mail
Scottish country dancing is a common pastime activity for thousands of dancers in Scotland and many other countries. We are members of the Canterbury Region of the NZ Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society . The Society was established in 1923 by its co-founders to protect and promote the standards of Scottish country dancing. Today it is an International organisation catering to the needs of some 25,000 members.

30-40 people enjoy dancing each Monday evening at the Caledonian Hall from 7:30 to 9:15pm from March to November. Scottish Dancing is great for both mental & physical fitness and is suitable for both couples and single people. We have a varied programme with short breaks between dances to change partners and a good chance to socialise at supper at the end of the evening. Several times during the season we have interclub events such as the Fish & Chip night at Brighton in the winter and each year we have an open night on a Saturday for the other clubs in the Region.
