"Silverdale Scotties"

Silverdale Village sounds Scottish every Wednesday night from February to December when  Hibiscus Coast Scottish Dancers practise steps, formations and dances in the Community Hall to Scottish and Irish tunes.  

The club celebrated 45 years of dancing in 2024, and its members know the benefits of exercise to music within a group – no dancing over swords involved!  

Dancing is cardio and muscular exercise, and Scottish requires a good memory, all of which improves with each weekly club night as full instruction is given in a social environment, with health and safety considerations.   Dancing with a partner within a group of six or eight allows for team work to achieve a good result – or not, as often happens it’s a minor glitch usually met with laughter and a time to regroup and try again, or maybe slide that dance to the side and try another. 

Dance, music and socialising while keeping fit – an ideal combination.   

The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society is worldwide and our New Zealand Branch has clubs throughout both islands that meet regularly.  Weekend schools and Annual Summer Schools allow both local and overseas dancers, teachers and musicians to come together here -  and there are opportunities to travel and dance overseas.

 From 7pm 19^th February to mid December 2025 every Wednesday night, the Community Hall will be filled with toe-tapping music and welcoming club members.
