Join us in celebrating Seachdain na Gàidhlig and the launch of Sgoil Dannsa, with step dance workshops led by Scottish Step Dancer, Sophie Stephenson.

Step dance is a fun, active and social activity for all ages. The workshops will give you the opportunity to actively engage with traditional music and Gaelic culture, through dance. You will learn percussive style dance steps to strathspeys, jigs and reels. For wee ones, it helps them to learn rhythm and improve their coordination whilst, for adults it is a gentle way to improve stamina and strengthen muscles. Advised to wear hard soled shoes and bring a bottle of water!
