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!
