Welcome to the Scottish Country Dance Teachers' Association (Canada)

We can’t meet in person this year, but we are excited to announce that there will be a virtual Summer School in July 2021!

As is the case with most in-person activities, we are unable to travel, meet, and dance together but we still want to keep in touch.  Plans are underway for online gatherings where we will be able to talk, listen to music, watch some dances, learn from each other, and keep in touch.   The AGM will be held virtually on the scheduled date of July 24, 2021.

Watch this space for news and announcements of planned events.
