Rebecca was born in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia.  She has moved to the Okanagan Valley and resides in Summerland, BC. In 1995, she took up Scottish country dancing and earned her Teacher’s Certificate in 2001.  As she had a background in classical ballet, pointing her toes was not a problem; however, it took quite a bit longer to learn the formations and dances! She has taught a general class in Fort Langley for the last 18 years and taught for the Vancouver Branch.  She now teaches the Naramata Scottish country dance class in Penticton.

She has taught workshops throughout North America and has been a core teacher at TAC, St Andrews, and New Zealand Winter School.

Originally from North Berwick, near Edinburgh, Linda now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. She began Country Dancing at primary school and is a former competitive Highland dancer. Linda is married, has three grown-up children, and works part-time in elementary school.

Linda has taught all levels of dancing in the San Francisco Branch and workshops in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. She is also an experienced ceilidh caller.

Linda grew up in a musical household. Her dad plays the accordion, and she plays the piano in his band. It gives Linda great pleasure to share the joys of Scottish dancing, its history, and its music with dancers all over the world.

Originally from London, Andrew learned to dance at a children's class in Isleworth, and it has stuck with him ever since. Since gaining his certificate in 2012 while at university in Edinburgh, he has taught as far afield as Sydney to Ottawa as well as in the UK at the RSCDS Summer and Winter Schools. He is active within the Edinburgh Scottish Dancers group and enjoys playing for SCD. Andrew takes a particular interest in less well-known or 'forgotten' dances, so he hopes there will be something new for everyone in the class.

Cecily started Scottish Country dancing as a student at Swarthmore College near Philadelphia.  She married her first SCD teacher, Geoffrey Selling, and they have been dancing together for many years.  Cecily did her preliminary teacher training at St. Andrews Summer School in 1977. She finished her full certificate training in the Delaware Valley branch, taking the exam while she was eight months pregnant.  Cecily has taught at workshops in many parts of North America and Japan. In 1980, Cecily and Geoffrey wrote A Handbook for Scottish Country Dance Teachers. It is in its 4th edition and is still used by teachers worldwide.  Cecily has also tutored candidates for the Teachers’ Certificate and has led teacher workshops on memory and Scottish country dancing at Asilomar, TAC Summer School, and online. Cecily also enjoys English dancing, gardening, reading, and playing with her two grandsons and one granddaughter.
