Welcome to Scottish Country Dancing in Cornwall.
Our site provides you with information about
dancing activities in Cornwall and beyond
Updated 11th December 2021
Dancing has been back in full swing in many areas of Cornwall since September and we are hoping that the present uncertainty about the Omicron variant of Covid does not stop us dancing again in the New Year.
The Saltash Scottish Country dancers held a very successful evening of dance on Saturday 27th November to celebrate St Andrew’s Night. Dancers came from throughout Cornwall and over the border in Devon to dance to the live music of Celtic Capers at Burraton Community Centre.
The 6 week beginner’s course held on Friday evenings at Carnon Downs Methodist Church Hall TR3 6HY has been a great success and will now continue in the New Year. This class will concentrate on learning the steps and basic formations to give the dancer confidence to enjoy their dancing. No partner necessary. Please wear soft, flat shoes, comfortable clothing, and bring a drink.
First session back will be Friday 7th January from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.
Contact Teacher Polly Barton 01872 864779 for more information.
