Our young dancers enjoy lots of fun at classes and events designed for all ages.
Our regular Saturday morning Children's classes mainly follow the regular school terms.
We offer opportunities for our young dancers to be involved in competitions, performances and displays to boost their confidence, build their teamwork skills, and for a chance to perform in front of an audience.
Children of all ages are also offered the opportunity to work towards Graded Medal Tests, certified by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society

Our parent organisation, the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, hold an annual gathering over a weekend. In 2024 it was held in Edinburgh. As part of a set of dances by the Edinburgh branch's demonstration team, our Young Dancers danced both on their own and also along with the adult team. Over two hundred people from around the world were there to enjoy the spectacle.
For decades Scottish country dancing was a staple part of school life around Edinburgh. Now, with the huge resurgence in the popularity of ceilidhs, traditional music and dancing, your school could once again become part of Edinburgh’s thriving Dance Trad community for young people.
