London
Scottish country dancing across the capital
White Rose Festival 2025
Thanks to everyone who made RSCDS London's trip to the White Rose Festival 2025 such fun. in cooperation with the MacLennan Scottish Group, RSCDS London entered 3 sets of dancers in the festival. Some had started dancing only this season, others had been dancing since childhood - all made a great contribution to the joy of the weekend. Particular thanks to our teachers, Simon, Pat and Judith whose hard work ensured that we were practised and ready to dance!
​
We hope to go back in 2026 - watch this space!
The White Rose Festival of Scottish Country Dancing takes place near Leeds each July - outdoors if the weather permits. It's a lovely, non competitive celebration of Scottish country dance with programmed items for teams of beginners, intermediate and more advanced dancers.
This year the sun shone and RSCDS London dancers, plus supporters, made the most of the festival atmosphere
