Dancing in the Park ~ Every Tuesday in June

The music guided me in and to my delight. . .  Learn more

All are welcome to Dancing in the Park. If you know the dances, join in.

If this is all new to you, try the audience participation dances (there are at least two on every program). There will be live music and great enthusiasm amongst both dancers and observers. Dancing starts at 7pm and goes ‘til dusk. There is no fee but you are encouraged to make a donation to cover costs.

Info about classes beginning in September will be available.

Monthly Dances

Monthly Dances are typically (but not always) the 2nd Saturday of each month in dance season. We dance to wonderful, put-wings-on-your-heels live music by the best Scottish Country Dance musicians in North America. The annual Family Christmas Dance (see below right) is a particular favourite, as is the March Beginners’ Dance.
