We are delighted to welcome Spring Fling back to Edinburgh for 2023 and look forward to seeing you all on 14th April 2023 for a weekend full of dancing, socialising, and a whole host of other activities.
Booking is now open for 12–35-year-olds so click below to register and enjoy the option to pay in instalments!
Those who wish to pay in instalments should choose the "Paypal" payment method, and they will be offered an instalment option.
If you are aged 12-17 you should apply by booking via the standard form, but you should also get a parent/guardian to fill out the '12-17-year-olds Application Form', found at the bottom of this page, before attending Spring Fling. Please note, that we are unable to have 12 – 17 year olds as residents due to Child Protection laws on room sharing. They can still attend as non-residents.
This year, as so many missed their last Spring Fling, due to COVID, we will be opening the weekend up to those 35+ who missed their last year so please do join us for your final celebration. For anyone aged ‘35+’ who does not fit into this category, RSCDS Edinburgh Branch are hosting Spring Fringe. Our dances are, of course, open to all.
You can find all the information about accommodation, classes, teachers, musicians and much more on the Spring Fling Website
We look forward to seeing you on the dancefloor!
