About Us
Tadley Scottish Country Dance Club, also known as Tadley Scottish Dancers started life in the 1960's at the Boundary Hall, Tadley; the hall of residence of the then AWRE.
​
For many years the club used various halls in and around Tadley, then in 2022 the club relocated to the Sherborne St John Village Hall.
​
Members meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:15pm, starting with formation practice, followed by dancing until 9:30pm. The dancing season is from September to the end of June.
​
During the year we hold an Annual Dance at the end of October, a Christmas Party, a Burns Supper, a Spring Dance just before Easter and an End of Season Dance at the end of June.​
​
In addition we occasionally provide a demonstration at local village fetes.
About Scottish Country Dancing
What is Scottish Country Dancing?
Resources Click below
Scottish Country Dancing (SCD) is a sociable dance form with roots stretching back for centuries.​
​
Dancers are grouped into sets, typically of 3, 4 or 5 couples arranged either in two lines, or in a square, and work together to dance a sequence of formations.​
​
This will leave them in a new order, and the dance is repeated enough times to bring them back to their starting positions, with everyone dancing each position in turn.​
​
It is usual to dance with different partners during an evening - so no need to come with a partner.​
