Welcome to the Gay Gordons Manchester Website, the home of Scottish Country and Ceilidh dancing for the LGBTQ+ Community in Greater Manchester and their friends and allies.
We are a group of Scottish Country Dance enthusiasts that felt the the Gay Community in Greater Manchester could benefit from something new and different.
It is a great way to exercise, to meet new people and to learn a new skill. It is open to everyone - from complete beginners to the more advanced dancer. The only stipulation is that you are LGBTQ+ friendly and are willing to dance.
Gay Gordons Manchester can be found on Facebook and Twitter @GayGordonsMcr
HAVE YOU SEEN US OUT AND ABOUT :
From Spring until late Autumn you will see the Gay Gordons Manchester within the Gay Village doing display dances and taking part in other major events throughout the year. Come along and join in the fun.
This site is updated on a regular basis with the latest news on what is happening with the GGM.
Why not become a member and make new friends. No experience of Scottish Dancing required, just a willingness to learn.
Our main dance classes are being held in the upstairs bar of The Thompsons Arms, 23 Sackville St., Manchester starting at 7.45. Every Monday except Bank Holidays see Classes page for details.
Classes are usually followed by a drink around the Gay Village, although not compulsory!!
* Due to Popular Demand we are holding a Day School on Saturday 5th April 2025.
