Come and join us in beautiful St. Andrews for another fun-packed month of Scottish music and dancing in Summer 2017! The RSCDS Summer School has been an annual event (and our largest) for more than 80 years (excluding the years during WWII). Last year we welcomed more than 500 dancers from across the globe and across all ages.
Each Week of Summer School gives dancers the opportunity to take part in classes, social dancing, a Ceilidh or two with the input of experienced teachers and great musicians, and of course to dance at our famous Younger Hall. Dancers stay in St. Andrews University and accomodation, food and social dances are all included in the price (with residential and non-residential options).
Last year we introduced ‘Junior Summer School’ (JSS) for those between 8-11 years old, which we are proud to say was a great success! Building on last year we are pleased to once again offer the programme in Week Three of Summer School 2017 for those looking to bring the wee ones along to learn how to Dance Scottish. Class times coincide with the adult classes – JSS starts a bit earlier and finishes a bit later so you can drop them off and still attend your own classes at Summer School.
In addition, our Music Course is increasingly popular with musicians of all ages taking part to learn the finer points of playing for Scottish Country Dancing. Teaching comes from some amazing band leaders who have played and taught worldwide.
The RSCDS Summer School offers something for everyone; whether you are a dancer or a musician, young or slighly older, we welcome you to St. Andrews to take part in our historic Summer School where fun, fitness and friendship can be felt in every step.
Happy dancing!
