Welcome...

Scottish Country Dancing is the social dancing of Scotland.  Dancers dance in “sets”  of 6, 8, or 10 dancers, these being the more common set sizes. Energizing music drives stirring Reels providing contrast to the haunting melodies of the Strathspey.  Dance Scottish!  Have fun and make new friends! 

Each evening begins with the focus on less experienced dancers and after a short social break, the focus shifts to the more experienced dancers.  This distinction becomes less important as the season progresses.  For more information on dance specifics, see “Our Programme.”

Come Join Us:

We meet every Tuesday from 7:30 pm  to 9:30 p.m., mid-September to early May, in Stuart Wood Elementary School Gymnasium, 3rd Ave. & Battle St., in downtown Kamloops.  We sponsor a special SCD event every two years in October.
