Classes
Scottish Country Dance Classes
Relaxed Social - Dance Studio (~20 dancers, or 2 5-couple sets) (All Welcome):
For dancers familiar with all steps and common formations of Scottish Country Dancing. These relaxed-pace
classes will also explore social aspects of dancing, such as teamwork, handing and eye contact, review steps
and formations as needed, plus polish skills such as step transitions, flow between formations and repetitions
of a dance, musical phrasing, deportment and covering.
Tricky Social - Saniford Hall (Proficient/Low Impact):
For dancers familiar with all steps and formations of Scottish Country Dancing. These moderately-paced classes
will present interesting and spatially challenging dances, with some review of less common formations as needed,
and will emphasize essential group skills such as teamwork, phrasing, covering, handing, and eye contact.
Technique Challenge - The Lodge (Proficient/High Impact):
For dancers proficient in all steps and formations of Scottish Country Dancing, who consistently execute steps
and step transitions at a high standard. These fast-paced, physically demanding classes will have minimal walkthroughs,
will polish finer points of steps, may include individual feedback, and have the expectation of stamina and strong
form in all aspects of dancing.
Your class assignments will be in your packet. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Yvonne Yang at
