The Los Alamos Scottish Country Dance Group is a contract instructor for Los Alamos County Recreation Division. They have held Scottish Country Dance classes at Fuller Lodge since 1976. They are a small group, generally having between 10 and 18 dancers. They dance in soft-soled shoes that are worn only indoors, not in the hard shoes people are used to seeing (and hearing) on Irish dancers.
Scottish Country Dancing is a historic social dance form that is enjoyed all over the world. The main purpose of this activity is to have fun — enjoying the movements, sociability, and music associated with this form of dance. Another important purpose of this activity is to learn the elements of this dance form as established by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS). The instructors help the students learn as many of the dance elements as they are able to learn and enjoy the dancing at whatever level they like. There are no required achievement levels, and there is no testing for dancers.
Classes are for adults of all abilities, and experienced teen and youth dancers are also welcome to dance in the adult class. Dancers will need to provide their own shoes.
