Royal Scottish Country Dance Society

Western Australia Branch Inc

Welcome to the Home Page of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, Western Australian Branch.

Scottish country dancing has been popular in Scotland for centuries, and has proved so popular that it is now practised throughout the world by people of all races and nationalities. It is one of comparatively few activities in which different generations of a family can happily participate together on an equal footing. It is a lively, social type of dancing, suitable for men and women of all ages, usually done in teams of 8 dancers, and should not be confused with Highland dances like the Sword Dance or the Fling which are solo dances for competition or display.

The WA Branch was founded in 1976. Classes are currently held at General, Intermediate and Advanced levels. There are Social Clubs and Groups which meet in various parts of the Perth Metropolitan area and one in the far south of the state.

A Monthly Social "Hop" is held from March to December. (See upcoming events for details)

Branch publication is "The Postie's Jig"
