Welcome
JSeptember 2025 sees the start of the new season of Scottish Country Dancing. It is an excellent way to stay fit, and exercise the mind as well as the body, while enjoying fun at the same time. Why not come along and try! You do not need a partner, a kilt or a white dress, and there will be plenty experienced dancers to help you begin. You will learn steps and formations used in the many Reels, Jigs and Strathspeys enjoyed around the world.
The group in Waltham meets on Thursdays in Waltham Village Hall from 7.30pm till 9.30pm. There is ample car parking. The classes cost £3 and include tea or coffee and biscuits during the interval. New dancers are encouraged to come along at the beginning of September when teaching the basics will take place. As well as weekly classes from September through to May, we hold Annual Dances in October and March with live music and celebrate St Andrews Day and Burns Day.
We are always on the lookout for dancers who may have moved to the area or find they have time to dance again, or for beginners to learn and enjoy. Anyone interested should contact John Aitken on 07770 428103 or Sue Ronald on 07380 270955.
