The newest Scottish country dance group in the capital, the Edinburgh Scottish Dancers (ESD), will welcome dancers of all levels of Scottish Dancing experience to a free afternoon workshop on Sunday 8 May at Murrayfield Church Hall, EH12 6EQ to celebrate Voluntary Arts Week.

image002The workshop, led by popular local teacher, Ian Brockbank, features a programme that has been specially crafted to provide challenge and interest for experienced dancers while also being suitable for beginners or less experienced dancers. Young, Dundee-based pianist, Adam Brady will set the workshop to music.

ESD are fortunate to have been awarded a MicroFund Grant from Voluntary Arts Scotland to enable the workshop to be offered free. Andrew Nolan, Secretary of ESD, said “This grant and workshop will allow us to reach more dancers and let them know about what we do. The more people that get involved and realise the health and social benefits of Scottish Dancing the better”.

Want to come along? All Scottish dancers are welcome at the free event and anyone interested in Scottish dancing or ESD is also welcome to come along and see what it is all about. All attendees will be treated to tea, coffee and biscuits and although dancers can turn up on the day, it would be helpful to know numbers in advance for capacity and catering purposes.
