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

 

 TAC supports Scottish Country Dance Teachers and Dancers in North America and throughout the world. We have been serving the dance community for over 60 years and continue to grow and evolve.

• Each year we organize a week-long Summer School with classes open to all levels of dancers from basic through experienced; Summer School is hosted at venues in Canada and the USA in late July or early August
• We offer training for dancers wishing to become teachers
• We offer scholarships to attend Summer School as a teacher candidate, dancer, or musician
• Through TACBooks and TACSound we offer access to dance descriptions and music
• Our outreach program offers assistance to teachers and dancers in isolated locations or who may not have access to qualified teachers
