Dance Scottish

in Bristol

RSCDS Bristol

We are a friendly club in Bristol who take great pleasure and fun from Scottish Country Dancing. We welcome beginners and experienced dancers.

You don't need to be a Scot

You don't need a partner

You don't need a kilt

All you need is a pair of soft soled shoes and a desire to dance!

Our early session, 7:00pm-7:30pm focuses on steps and formations, to help with your participation later in the evening.  See when & where below for the timetable from 7:30pm
