Weekly Scottish Country Dance classes

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.

The Arts Society Paris

Lecture on Scandinavian Modern: behind the scenes

Why was Scandinavian Modern design so popular in the mid-20th Century and how did it turn from a revolutionary movement into just another style? And was there a dark side to it? A political project will be revealed: to change consumer taste, using scientific experimentation and social engineering, a people’s movement that developed into a luxury style. By James Vaux

James Vaux is a researcher and lecturer specialising in Nordic arts, culture, design and history.His talks now focus on understanding artistic achievements through their historic, cultural and political context.He lectures and provides study days focusing on Scandinavian Modern design, Danish design, Norse mythology, Icelandic literature, Swedish literature, the Modern Breakthrough in Nordic culture and the role of modernism in the Cold War.
