Group details
Great Ayton Scottish Country Dance Club
Group profile
The classes are held every Wednesday evening from 7:30 till 9:30 and run from September through to the following June when there is a summer break.
The classes take place in The Women's Institute Hall in Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, except for the second Wednesday in each month when they are held in the Parochial Hall which is part of Christ Church on Guisborough Road in Great Ayton.
It's a very welcoming, friendly, affiliated RSCDS club of mixed ability that serves the areas of Teesside and North Yorkshire.
The classes are currently led by instructor David Hall, (not the band leader) . David is not a qualified RSCDS dance teacher, however, he is a very experienced dancer and before the previous qualified teacher, Trevor Stephenson retired, David assisted by leading the classes when Trevor was absent. When Trevor retired, David volunteered to lead the classes so The Great Ayton Club could continue to function.
Dances include selections from the RSCDS (Royal Scottish Country Dance Society) books, and also many new ones. New dancers will be helped with the steps.
The Club also hosts five social dances per year, led by a musician / band and members from other clubs within the surrounding area come along and support us.
