About Hook Scottish Country Dance Club

Scottish Country Dancing (not be confused with Highland Dancing or Ceilidh dancing) is very sociable. There is no need to come with a patner as it is usual to dance with several different partners during an evening of dancing. The basic steps and formations are easy to pick up. Dancers are grouped in sets, typically of 3, 4 or 5 couples arranged either in two lines, or in a square or triangle, and work together to dance a sequence of formations. Scottish Country Dancing can help improve your fitness.
