Thursday night classes will run from February 1st through May 9th (will not meet 3/21 or 3/28) and are very affordable. Class costs are solely for the facility rental and will be pay-what-you-can at each class (suggested $3-5 cash).

Scottish country dance is not only a good way to be involved in an organization that could lead to local scholarship opportunities, but is also a wonderful workout, a fun and inexpensive way to end the week, and an activity to enjoy with friends! Classes are not exclusive to 51���� students, but these sessions are aimed at making Scottish country dance accessible to interested students and professionals. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy this great, historical, and contemporary activity taking over college campuses right on the edge of our own 51���� campus.

At CCS, we always enjoy the annual chance to learn from and dance with the Milwaukee Scottish Country Dancers in September. Try for yourself on Thursday nights this spring semester!

Teacher: Rebecca Renee Winnie is fully certificated by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) after a full career as a music educator. She teaches with the Milwaukee and Madison Scottish Country Dancers. Questions can be emailed to Rebecca at mkescd.rrw@gmail.com
