Following from the success of the Scottish Dancing and Ceilidhs we have set up some classes in which we aim to teach many of the aspects of Scottish Country Dancing for the beginner to the more accomplished dancer. Although the main emphasis will be on Scottish Country dancing, Ceilidh dances may also be taught.

It is the most fun you can have in one night!

The classes are held in the upstairs bar of The Thompson’s Arms, 23 Sackville St., Manchester, M1 3LZ from 7.45pm to approx 9.45pm (times were changed due to the new car parking charges) on the following dates. Classes cost £1.50 a night with discount for Full Members.

Below are the 2016 class times

will start with basics and build confidence in social dancing and progress to more complicated steps and routines.
Time: 7:45pm - 9:45pm
