Weekly classes
Our regular weekly classes, for adults of all abilities, are held on Wednesday evenings, from 7.30 - 9.30 pm, September to mid-May, in The Booth Memorial Hall, Catterick Village, DL10 7LD (please check the calendar for any changes in venue and any weeks when the usual class is not taking place). The Hall is located on the corner of Swale Lane and the High Street. (View on map.)
First class of the term in September 2025.
Beginners
Beginners are very welcome, with the first half of the class particularly aimed at newer and less experienced dancers. You don't need a partner, but flat, soft shoes are recommended (regular Scottish dancers tend to wear dance shoes, as you may have spotted in the photos, but these are not required). It's free to come along and try us out, followed by a special offer of five weeks for just £15!
If you'd like to give Scottish Country Dancing a try (and we'd heartily recommend you do!), please get in touch.
Our teachers
We have three experienced and friendly teachers: Joy Bradshaw, Louise Macdougall, and Shona Harper-Wilkes. All three ladies are RSCDS qualified, and excellent at both putting newcomers at ease as they learn the basics, and putting more experienced dancers through their paces with a bit more of a challenge!

Regulars: £4/class for members; £4.50/class for non-members
Members paying termly get one week free!
White Rose Classes
Classes are also held in June and July to learn the dances for the White Rose Festival - a wonderful, non-competitive event held in Leeds in July, which we thoroughly enjoy being a part of each summer. These classes are aimed at the dancers who will be taking part in the festival, but others are most welcome to attend.
The integrated festival programme includes a mixture of easier, more challenging, and special demonstration dances, and those in our team can choose which dances they feel comfortable to learn and dance on the day. The accent is very much on trying to get the little things right that make each dance look and feel good, as well as always helping each other out as a team.
We're very grateful to Louise, who prepares us so well for the festival each year.
