Clothes Lessons are informal, so there's no need to dress up. Loose / unrestrictive clothes are your best bet as they don't hamper your movements. Scottish dancing is an active style, and you may get quite hot during the evening so it’s advisable to bring a layer you can easily take on or off depending on whether you're dancing or sitting out. Shoes Flat, soft-soled shoes are recommended. If you have them, jazz or ballet shoes can be worn. Once you know that Scottish country dancing is for you, it's generally recommended that you invest in some proper dance shoes. Members will be happy to share their experience of the different styles of shoes available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3d26984454752568f8ab2e/6f73cdab-b693-453d-a548-1f8e4fe1c2d8/Partners.jpeg FAQs - Partners There’s no need to bring your own partner and it’s polite to switch partners for every dance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3d26984454752568f8ab2e/46108f2e-d97d-4ce4-b351-8c1d6f70ea52/Children.jpeg FAQs - Can children come? The Society doesn't hold a designated children's class. Children are welcome to join us if they already have the basics of Scottish Country Dancing and are accompanied by a parent or carer. This is at the discretion of the Society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3d26984454752568f8ab2e/76608dc3-0d67-4b91-866d-29eaf10a6670/Drinks.jpeg FAQs - Drinks It’s recommended that you bring a bottle of water to keep you hydrated during the evening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3d26984454752568f8ab2e/17ab4376-1b65-4b91-8d4b-ad794a959f09/Music.jpeg FAQs - Music At our weekly classes we dance to recorded music. At our Autumn and Spring dances we book well known Scottish Country Dance Musicians. Sometimes a solo musician and sometimes a full band. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3d26984454752568f8ab2e/ee69b093-3995-43da-b61c-b98a7ff72355/Other+Activities+2.jpeg.jpg FAQs - What else does the society do? As well as regular dance classes, we look to celebrate particular moments in the calendar. Our Autumn Dance usually falls on the Saturday closest to St Andrew's Day. At Christmas and in January, for Burn's Night, we turn the class into a party night. Several members attend dances run by other clubs and societies around the North East. Some travel further afield to dance. Society members are always welcome to join them. In July 2026 we attended our first White Rose Festival run by RSCDS Leeds. We'll be looking to put a team together for 10th July 2027. At the end of May we organise an end of term dinner giving us a chance to chat with the friends we've made during the dancing year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3d26984454752568f8ab2e/e9bcfeb2-2e7e-416d-9f8c-17d150204e12/Safeguarding.jpg FAQs - Safeguarding The Society has a safeguarding policy in place. You will be asked to provide your contact details and your emergency contact details so we can let you know if classes are cancelled or keep you up to date with news. These details are provided in confidence and will not be shared. The Society uses photographs to publicise its events and you will be asked if you are happy for us to use your photograph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3d26984454752568f8ab2e/5207864e-1597-4397-aac2-f5c6179c415a/Fees.jpeg FAQs - Fees This is not a profit-making society.
