Classes

Scottish Country dance classes are great for exercising and socializing. Honolulu weekly classes are held each Monday at Paradise Park in Manoa. We start the evening with warm-up, easy steps, and simple dances perfect for beginners or the experienced dancer looking to review and refine the basics. We then step it up a notch with more advanced dances and techniques. Everyone is welcome.

When

We are on break for summer. Our next session runs from September 16 – December 2. All levels are welcome. Hope to see you there.

Class Fees

First class is Free
$8 per adult per class (16 and older)
$3 per child per class (under 16)
$20 family rate for 2 parents & additional children

RSCDS Membership

RSCDS membership is separate from class fees. RSCDS-Hawaii membership primarily supports the activities of RSCDS. As an organization, we sponsor dancing, dining, and social events about once a month.

Where

You can find us at the beautiful Paradise Park in Mānoa.

Instructors

We try to impart in the students the idea of importance of technique and phrasing as a means to truly appreciate all that a dance can be. We believe that SCD has an energizing effect and encourage all levels of dancers to have fun with the dance.

Recent Dances

Although we have our favorites, we try to rotate our weekly dances to learn something new and keep us on our toes. But don’t get me wrong, we love to let loose and dance the old favorites. Check out what we’ve been up to.
