Welcome to Scottish Country Dancing; in April and May we will hold four of additional Reel Clubs between the PotLuck and Summer Ceilidhs; these dates are Fridays 5 & 12 April and Fridays 24 & 31 May 2024.

We resume Reel Club dancing for the autumn dancing season on Friday 13th September 2024 at Zandvliet School, and remain there for the spring dancing season which runs from January to March 2025. Those planning to join us for this, our weekly dance club, should contact us using this contact form so that you also have your contact details and vice versa.

Scottish Country Dancing is a fun way to keep fit and meet new people. This autumn dancing season runs from early September though to the week before our Ball (end November). We are looking forward to welcoming you to the dancing.

We aim to keep everyone as safe as possible whilst enjoying our time dancing. We will make sure there is enough ventilation and you can of course wear a mask if you prefer. Depending upon the prevalence of Covid in the Netherlands, we may require testing prior to dancing. We will inform participants nearer to the time.

It is not necessary to bring a partner and we regularly change partners during the evening so you get to meet new people and dance with more or less experienced members.  The classes are taught in English and each dance is fully explained by our dancing teacher Margaret Lambourne.

Weekly Classes

The Reel Club is the name for our Scottish Dancing class, also called our club night by some. We start at 8pm and finish at 10pm on Friday evenings.  We stop for a break midway through – there is hot water if you would like to make a cuppa! Please wear comfy clothes – it can get quite warm whilst dancing – and wear non-marking (not black soled) shoes.

Reel Club is included in our full membership (called “A” membership), for more information about membership costs please click here. We are always happy to welcome potential new members and the first 2 sessions are free. If you would like to come along to a class –  please contact Marion so we know to expect you.  The exact dates of Reel Club depends on school term dates, but are typically September to November and then January to March.  We also aim to run a few Reel Clubs in the spring before the Summer Ceilidh.
