Weekly Dancing
Dunedin Dancers meet every Wednesday evening (apart from holidays) at the Braid Centre, off Morningside Road (click here for a map) for social Scottish Country dancing from 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm. [Exact dates are from January 6 to March 24 2010, and from April 14 to June 30 2010, all dates inclusive.] 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.
