Scottish Country DancingScottish Country Dancing is a social form of Celtic dancing using the traditional reels, jigs, and strathspeys of Scotland.
Unlike the showier Highland Dancing (fling & sword dance), Scottish Country dancing emphasizes social interaction. Dances are typically performed in sets of 6-8 people to lively fiddle, accordian and piano tunes. Once you learn a few basic steps and formations you’ll be able to do hundreds of dances. No Scottish background is necessary, and dancers of all ages are welcome! Scottish dancing is performed all over the world. We typically dance to recorded music by Scottish bands but sometimes have live music. |
St Andrews DaySaint Andrew's Day is the feast day of Saint Andrew. It is celebrated on 30 November. Saint Andrew's Day (Scots: Saunt Andra's Day, Scottish Gaelic: Là Naomh Anndrais) is Scotland's official national day. It is a national holiday in Romania (since 2015). Saint Andrew is represented in the New Testament to be the disciple who introduced his brother, the Apostle Peter, to Jesus as the Messiah. He is the patron saint of Cyprus, Scotland, Greece, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, San Andres Island (Colombia), Saint Andrew (Barbados) and Tenerife.
