• indoors on Tuesdays from 29th May to 26th June at Fairmilehead Parish Church Hall, Frogston Road West
• indoors on Tuesdays from 3rd July to 28th August at the George Young Hall, Stockbridge House, Cheyne Street

Dancing, whether indoors or out, begins at 7.30pm and continues until 9.30pm. Entrance is £5 for adults and £1 for children.

What do you need to know to participate?

The events in the Princes Street Gardens are open to all, from experienced dancers to spectators. As in previous years, each dance will be demonstrated once by a team of experienced dancers. The programmes principally comprise dances for which prior experience is desirable, but several simpler dances are also included which can be picked up instantly, and there are one or two of modest complexity which can be managed if sufficient people in the set know the dance.

The indoor dances are not demonstrated, but are called once before the dance. These dances, therefore, are more suitable for those with prior knowledge.

Need a reminder of the steps?

and to Brian MacRae for the leaflets of the full programme.
