What a weekend! Saturday saw our first evening dance to celebrate 10 years of ESD - a huge thanks to David Oswald and his band and the raft of volunteers who helped make the night a success and to everyone who attended.

Continuing our tradition of supporting new teachers, Beth Fairbairn led our Anniversary workshop with a great choice of dances on the Sunday with music from David and Gillian.

If you want to be the first to hear about our workshops and events, just get in touch and we’ll add you to the mailing list.

We’ve been a little quiet lately, however we've been busy in the background and are excited to announce our first evening dance to celebrate (a little belatedly) our 10th Anniversary. Since our launch in 2015, we’ve had the world’s best teaching and playing at our workshops and classes, and we’re proud to have supported newer teachers along the way.

What better way to celebrate for a dance organisation than a dance? Join us on Saturday 9th May from 7pm at St Martin’s Community Resource Centre (EH11 2JG) for an evening of favourites. We’ll be dancing to the superb music of David Oswald and his band.

Tickets (£15, £10 for students) will be available shortly but as space is limited in the hall, please let us know by email how many tickets you’d like to reserve. There’s no prize, but 10 points to anyone who can tell us why we’ve used tin cans on the flyer below!

If you weren't at our workshop last Sunday, you definitely missed out on a fantastic afternoon of dancing. Linda Henderson met the Coast to Coast brief perfectly with dances connected with the people and places of San Francisco to the sights and sounds of East Lothian.

The highlight of the afternoon was dancing Drewry's Lava Tree Reel to a fantastic set of tunes by Luke Brady, starting off of course with the theme tune to Hawaii Five-0. Keep your eyes peeled for details of our next workshop.

Our next workshop is on 22 June, 2pm at Murrayfield where Linda Henderson and Luke Brady will take us 'From Coast to Coast' - from the far west US coast in San Francisco to the east coast closer to home in North Berwick and Dundee. All the details in the picture - ten points but no prizes to anyone who can name where the image was taken!

Only a few days until our Spring workshop with Angelika and David. Unusually for us on a Saturday (29 March, 2pm, Murrayfield Parish Church Hall) but we'll still have the usual kaffee und kuchen to help sustain the afternoon of dancing.

This workshop is supported by the RSCDS International Branch Susi Mayr Fund, which allows us to bring newer teachers over from the continent for teaching experience in Scotland. We think this is important and we hope you'll support it too by coming along. All the details are in the picture.

We had a fantastic time at The Newcastle Festival of SCD last weekend, picking up silverware in the Ladies, Men's and Mixed categories. The Festival is a showcase of high quality dancing but also the fun and worldwide friendship that this art form can provide. Highlight of the day for us, is our interpretation of Grease, set to some superb music by Ewan Galloway. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/9UVeScSAD28?si=MqrG6RNo1r0lSq0f
