Learn to Dance Scottish in Stanley Park This Summer
 THE ROYAL SCOTTISH Country Dance Society presents their annual 'Dancing in the Park'. |
VANCOUVER - Free entertainment in a world class location. No jet-lag and no passport required. Dance Scottish!
Homecoming Scotland is an invitation for Scots to return to their roots this year and join the celebration of the 250th anniversary of Robert Burn's birth.
What better excuse for a party? The Scots populate many countries and are well represented across Canada. There is a monument of Scotland's national bard at the entrance to Stanley Park.
If you can't accept the invitation to travel to Scotland this summer, then join the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society at Ceperley Park by second beach, for Scottish Country Dancing, the "social dancing" of Scotland.
Dancing begins on June 15 at 7 PM and continues each Monday evening through to August 17.
The Vancouver Demonstration Team and Pipe Band will perform on June 22. Family night is June 29 and the Vancouver Fiddle Orchestra will perform for dancers on July 6 and 20.
Each week the simpler dances are taught and audience participation is encouraged. Wear comfortable flat soled shoes.
