Scottish Dancing at Home
While our classes and dances have been curtailed due to the ongoing situation with Coronavirus, we hope to bring Branch members a selection of activities to enjoy at home.
Peter Knight has found several videos connected with Scottish dancing from his collection which we think people might like. Links to the videos will be made available to those who have signed up to the Branch e-Update. Anyone who would like to be kept appraised of Branch events can join up – see the form on our home page.
