Spokane Scottish Country Dancers

Kickin up our heels since 1974!

Who are we?
The Spokane Scottish Country Dancers are a local  
Royal Scottish Country Dance Society affiliate. They originally began dancing as a performance group for Spokane’s 1974 World’s Fair and have continued to dance since then.
 
Through Scottish country dance, we aim to perpetuate traditional Scottish ancestral heritage and culture. We enjoy weekly instruction, fun, and fellowship. We still enjoy the opportunity to perform for local heritage and arts events. Our members attend dance workshops throughout the Northwest to meet and dance with fellow Scottish country dancers.

What is Scottish Country Dancing?
Scottish Country Dancing is the traditional social dance form of Scotland. Unlike highland dancing, which is usually performed solo to the music of a bagpipe, country dancing is done in sets of two or more couples. The music varies in tempo from lively reels, jigs, and hornpipes to the slow, elegant Strathspey. The fiddle and piano are the most prevalent instruments supplying the tunes.

Instruction
We meet on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. (Note that no dancing is typically scheduled from September 19 through October 3.) Weather conditions or church activities sometimes cause a cancellation, so we suggest you call one of the numbers below before attending for the first time. Beginning dancers are welcome. You need not be Scottish or have a partner to be included in the dance!
​
Location
We dance at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 1703 N. Washington St. in Spokane, one block south of Indiana. Look for the distinctive striped building with the copper dome. We dance in the hall on the south side of the building.
