Toronto Area Groups
In the GTA, we are very lucky to have a wonderful choice of groups we can join. In a Social Group, you do a number of dances, after briefing by an instructor. There is no need to bring a partner. Different groups are for different levels of dancers. Groups labelled "beginners" welcome even the rawest dancers, however, most groups expect that visitors will know the basic formations and/or have completed at least one term of Beginner Classes.
Below is a list of the groups sorted by day of week.
There is a separate list at the bottom of groups for children.
In addition to these groups, there are classes run by RSCDS Toronto on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
PLEASE CONTACT THE GROUP OF YOUR CHOICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Shiftin' Bobbins in Toronto
“Shiftin' Bobbins” is a member run social group which meets occasionally on a Sunday afternoon in mid-town Toronto for dancers comfortable with more complex formations and able to complete a program with minimal instruction and walk through practise. The group provides personal progress challenge and, if considering Branch Teacher Candidate classes, an opportunity for non-teachers to devise a program and take the session.
The choice of a Sunday afternoon allows for a "bring and share" snack and fellowship following dancing ensuring an early return home.
Participation to this point has been by direct invitation to establish a core group with dancers drawn not only from within the GTA but also St.Catharines, Hamilton and Whitby.
New Class in Barrie
Meets: Thursdays @ 7:30 p.m.
The class is held at Unity Christian High School, 25 Burton Avenue in Allandale <map>. This is the former King Edward School (1905), which has had the old wood floors restored, resulting in an excellent surface for dancing.
Bill and Sue moved to Barrie in 2009, after having taught Scottish country dance for 21 years in St. John’s, NL, and before that in Calgary and Ottawa. The Scotts have also recently begun operating TACBooks.
For information, please contact Sue Scott (705) 737-2493.
