Weekly Dancing
Dunedin Dancers meet every Wednesday evening (apart from holidays) at the Braid Centre, off Morningside Road [note new venue] (click here for a map) for social Scottish Country dancing from 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm. [We meet every week until June 24 2009, and then from September 9 2009.] The dances are chosen and called by a different member of our group each week. Visitors are very welcome; each evening only costs £2.50, although it is cheaper if you pay for the term or year. Dress is very informal.
We dance to live music from one of our regular musicians playing accordion every second week; on the other evenings we dance to recorded music. There is a short break half way through the evening for juice, biscuits and socialising, and after the dancing several of us usually go to a local pub for more socialising! We do not run classes to teach dances or technique so our group is not ideal for absolute beginners.
Dances
Dunedin Dancers currently organises three dances each year, in November, March and June. All Country Dancers are welcome. Information about the dances will be provided on this website, or if you would like to receive details of our dances and our festival by e-mail, please enter your e-mail address in the space in the left column, and click on “Add”.

- An Informal Dance on Saturday 6 March 2010; details later.
- An Informal Dance on Saturday 12 June 2010; details later.
