Welcome to the
Stonehaven Branch of the    Royal Scottish Country Dance Society

Scottish Country Dancing is great for exercising and socialising. 
Our classes are held every Thursday

when we meet .... 

TAKE THE FLOOR

​
 . . . . in the Upper Town Hall, Allardice Street,
from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m.,
with a break for refreshments half-way through.

The responsibility of showing us how to dance
is shared by our three enthusiastic teachers, 
Gwynne Stewart, Linda Lawson and Fiona Allsop.

Linda is also our Secretary and can be contacted
at ianlawson88@btinternet.com

PLEASE NOTE:
Owing to the continuing corona virus problem, 
our classes are suspended till further notice.

​
In the meantime, does any of this seem familiar?

Upright posture, pointed toes,
Square dances or couples in rows,
Sets of four or sets of three,
Crossing the Line or The Hazel Tree.

​Young and old attending classes,
A bit of sweat, steamed-up glasses,
Hands across, hands round and back,
Polharrow Burn, Pelorus Jack.

Now a jig and next a reel,
Forming a star (some say “a wheel”)
Helping dancers in your set,
Some keep up, others fret.

Finding music on the machine,
“It's track 9, you said 13!”
Neither too fast nor too slow,
For our tiring feet down below.

Coffee with milk poured in first
Weakish tea to slake our thirst,
Biscuits, shorty, jaffas to eat,
Or a slice of cake as a special treat.

Only two weeks till our dance,
Catering called for in advance,
Raffles ready, decor and heating,
Band and callers, sufficient seating.

Guests arriving in best clothes,
Dresses, kilts and tartan hose,
With programme praised, musicians too,
Let's hope we'll soon meet up anew.
