Watch for details here. Risk-free offer for beginners: Try the first class. We won't ask you to pay until your 2nd lesson. Level 1 (Beginners) -- These classes are the best way to start Scottish Country Dancing. You don't need a partner - just come! We'll teach you the basics and start you off with simple dances. It's a fun night out. Regular attendance will prepare you for the annual "Beginners' Night" -- an exciting, well-attended event with easy dances and a great band providing live music -- and lots of willing, experienced dancers eager to be strong, helpful partners. Before long, you'll be travelling to workshops and balls all over. Level 2 (Intermediates) -- These classes are for dancers who wish to improve their knowledge of basic formations, continue step practice and expand their dance experience. Level 3 (Technique) -- The technique classes are for experienced dancers who want to fine-tune their footwork, finesse their dance technique, and broaden their dance background. Candidate classes -- Teacher Candidate classes are held about every other year for both Preliminary and Full Teaching Certificates. Future Candidate Classes will be announced here. Children's classes -- Children are trained less formally at several locations. Details here. Questions? -- Contact Sue Ann Bryce 416-266-5423.		As you begin second term. . . After your first term of classes, to qualify for the second term, you are expected to become a member of RSCDS Toronto (info here). There are multiple reasons for this. Basically, classes are subsidized by membership fees. Expenses include: rental of facilities token compensation to teachers insurance costs From a 'big picture' point of view, classes would not exist without membership fees to support the training of teachers (equivalent to a university course, in both difficulty and expense), the testing and publication of dances, and the production of CDs for the music we dance to. Plus, we are part of a world-wide international organization that maintains standards and safeguards the heritage and history of Scottish Country Dancing so it can continue to thrive.
