Thank you for visiting our Canberra and District Scottish Country Dancing pages.
Canberra has a very active Scottish Country Dancing community (see our Clubs) and welcomes you to our website and, hopefully, in person to the national capital.
We often have visitors from interstate or overseas, so if you are
visiting the Canberra region do pay us a visit.

Canberra Winter School 2021
RSCDS
Canberra and District Branch committee has decided, with great regret,
that it
is not feasible to hold a traditional Australian Winter School in Canberra in
2021
because of uncertainties created by the current pandemic.
All accommodation and other arrangements have
been cancelled
and invited overseas teachers and musicians have been informed
that
we will not be able to hold the school as planned.
The
Branch committee is examining the possibility of holding an alternative
shorter‑duration
Scottish country dancing event in Canberra in Spring 2021,
with musicians and
teachers from Australia only.
Further
details will be posted here as they become available.
