https://www.churchinaquitaine.org/A friendly way to start the weekend! Come as you are, no need for a partner. Scottish Country Dance ranges from very easy dances to mind-challenging ones. The two hours start off with all-level teaching (aimed primarily at beginners), then move on to intermediate and advanced.
Teaching is in French, but every formation is walked through even if you don’t speak French - and many in the group will be happy to speak English.
Every Friday at 7pm from September to June. Check our website for precise dates and times and also updates on our tariffs.
