Harrisburg Scottish Country Dance Society

The Harrisburg Scottish Country Dance Society (HSCDS) was founded to promote the art of Scottish Country Dancing in Central PA. We hope you'll join us!

In 1982, The Harrisburg Scottish Country Dance Society (HSCDS) was founded to promote the art of Scottish Country Dancing in Central PA. As an affiliate of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) of Edinburgh, we offer the chance to learn the traditional steps, patterns and dances, both old and new, which are danced today in groups world-wide and on every continent (including Antarctica)

. The purpose of the group is to introduce people to the pleasure of participating in Scottish Country Dancing. We welcome people of any age or experience level to join us and experience the flow of the dances, the lilt of the music and the social nature of the occasion which make dancing a rewarding activity in every sense. Sometimes called "the ballroom dancing of Scotland," Scottish Country Dance is a social dance form in which square dancing and contra dancing have their origins. It combines are energetic jigs and reels with slower and more elegant strathspeys. Scottish Country Dancing is a fun way to stay in shape for both body and brain. Our dancers can be seen at local events in the area such as Scots-Irish festivals, Artsfest, and PA's Renaissance Faire. We also offer to travel to your business for dance demonstrations. Each January we offer our annual tea dance called Twelfth Night, where dancers from around the mid-Atlantic come together to enjoy exciting dancing, live music, good food and great fellowship.
