known as RSCDS is currently located at 12 Coates Crescent, Edinburgh, Scotland (there is a dance composed after this address!).
The Society began in 1923 with two women – times were changing and the dances that they had grown up with were being forgotten as new dance forms were introduced into Scotland. They decided to see if others were concerned and interested in saving the national dances, placed an advertisement in the local newspaper to hold a meeting and the rest, as they say, is history. 90 years on and we wonder what we would do without our Scottish country dancing in our lives. The Country dancing of Scotland is the social or group dancing and we dance with all dancers, so no special partner is required.
New Zealand is just one branch of many RSCDS branches throughout the world and the worldwide family continues to grow as children and adults find this form of dance.
