No one who has come into contact with Scottish Country Dancing usually fail to be inspired by the amazing feeling and rhythm of the Jigs, Reels, Hornpipes or Strathspeys.
It is therefore not surprising that Scottish Country Dancing today have local branches all around the world organized by the head organization The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. In Stockholm, Scottish Country Dancing has been around since the 1960's and since the mid 70's as a separate local Branch.
In the Stockholm Branch both advanced and intermediate dancers, dance together. Our qualified teachers are trained in Scotland and dancers from other branches or groups from around the world are welcome.

The more experienced dancers dance from 19:30 - 21:00. Please note that it is possible to participate as an assistant dancer on the beginner's course.

Welcome!
Welcome to this autumn's Scottish dance evenings that we will hold in Östra Real's gymnasium.
The hall is large and spacious and has a good floor, but unfortunately, we will not be able to have any tea breaks during the evening and are looking at alternatives to the social activities.
Keep an eye out for announcements here or on our Facebook page.
We will start with our continuation course for beginners at 18:00 but also our more experienced dancers are welcome to dance then to support new dancers and maybe improve their own steps. At 19:30 we move on to
Intermediate/
Advanced and the dance program for that part is shown under each respective dance program.
After we have seen the costs of the activities increase every year, we have decided that these should be distributed more fairly between the dancer and now introduce a tuition fee of 700 SEK.
This corresponds to the number of evenings times 50 SEK, which means no difference for our active dancers.
The tuition fee is paid on Swish 123 352 14 32 or on plusgiro 80 64 12 - 3.
