The club
was started with the sole purpose of
enjoying and promoting Scottish
Country Dancing and that is still its
main aim. While there is a good
social side there is a certain
commitment to leaning how to dance as
well as possible, which helps with the
enjoyment and gives everyone a sense
of achievement.
The
emphasis has always been on being an
International Group, and we encourage
all nationalities. Although the
majority of teaching is in English
because we believe that the basic
terminology should be retained to
encourage and facilitate dancing at
other venues; we are all very capable
of explaining in French as well. Our
situation, on the Côte d’Azur and also
near the Technology Park at
Sophia-Antipolis, means that we are
able and pleased to welcome visitors
who are in the area for holidays or
for work.
In order to
further promote Scottish Dancing in
the Region the Club frequently
performs demonstrations in the area,
more often than not in the company of
the local “folklorique” groups. This
gives us the opportunity to improve
our level of dancing and demonstrate
our proficiency, and in addition to
share in the rich culture of the
Region.
