This is the first in a series of planned communications to RSCDS members worldwide. 

The objectives of the Health Strategy working group are:

1. Demonstrate the potential value of Scottish Country Dancing and its associated music for maintaining good health as well as promoting enhanced quality of life and longevity.

2. Provide quality, professional activity that supports participants towards better physical and mental health and wellbeing (physical activity and social interaction)

    3. Provide quality social experience that addresses loneliness & social isolation.

   4. Support the above aims through extensive outreach to health professionals, healthcare organisations and other individuals or organisations with interests in dance.

Later in 2025 we hope to disseminate a toolkit of materials to assist branches who would like to publicise or create campaigns about the health benefits of Scottish country dancing.
