The Los Angeles Branch provides Scottish country dance classes and social events for Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Kern Counties in Southern California. There are weekly classes in Santa Barbara, Simi Valley, Tehachapi (daytime), Torrance, and Van Nuys. (Schedules for these vary, so check our website and contact the individual teacher.) Throughout the year there are informal monthly dances in the Studio City district of Los Angeles and in Torrance; three special events held jointly with other SoCal RSCDS branches, an Interbranch Dance to open the new dance season in September, a Burns Supper and Ball near Robert Burns's birthday in January, and a dance during the Costa Mesa Games Weekend in May; and two special events of our own, a Saint Andrew's Ball in November and a Hogmanay Party on New Year's Eve, both in El Segundo. The Los Angeles Branch also has a demonstration team. For further information see our website and/or contact the branch secretary directly.
