On September 16th 2017, the RSCDS Paris Branch hosts a country dance workshop aimed at intermediate and advanced dancers and a cèilidh with live music.
The workshop is aimed at intermediate and advanced dancers. The dances that will be taught during the class will be mostly dances from Book 51, the latest book published by the RSCDS.
Join us for an evening of dances, to the music of the Paris Band. Cèilidh dances are fun dances, often danced during social gatherings in Scotland, that everybody can enjoy. Dancers of all levels are welcome, including beginners.
Some Scottish contradances will also be danced during the evening so that you can discover Scottish Country Dancing and maybe join our Monday class.
Warning: You must have appropriate dance shoes or socks as we will dance in a gym.

On June 17th 2017, the RSCDS Paris Branch hosts a music course followed by an evening dance with live music.
The music courses help the skilled instrumentalists to get trained for Scottish music played live at a ball. The teachers, who are all seasoned musicians, share their own experience and work with the trainees on the tunes included in the evening program. The sheet music is sent in advance, so everyone can arrive at the session having practiced the songs beforehand which will help to put an emphasis on interpretation, rhythm and ensemble work during the workshop. The standard formations usually involve a piano, a violin, an accordion and a flute but we will welcome any other kind of instruments with open arms!
Teacher : Christina Hood (fiddle)
The dance is open to intermediate and advanced dancers. Most dances will be briefly walked.
Musicians: Christina Hood (fiddle) with the students from the music course
