San Jose Scottish Country Dance Class

06/08/2026

🎶 Dance party prep was in full swing!
Last Monday’s dance class was all about getting ready for the San Francisco Branch’s monthly dance party on Saturday. With Laura's guidance, we danced our way through a fantastic selection of dances - and by the end of the night, we were absolutely ready for dancing on Saturday! 💃🕺

Our videographer took a quick break and captured this clip of Bob Grant's "Dancing Forth", featuring incredible live music by The San Jose Band. 🎻

🎶 Small Group, Big Energy at Yamash*ta Park!
Laura had a wonderful, focused group of dancers this past Monday night. It was the perfect opportunity to dive deep into the steps and styling!

Check out this set dancing Yamash*ta Park Strathspey to the beautiful tune of "Down on Yon Bank" by Mara Shea and Dave Wiesler. There’s nothing quite like live-recorded music to get the feet moving!

We had a great time and shared plenty of laughs—Scottish Country Dancing is always a blast, no matter the group size. We hope to see more faces joining our set next week!

Join the Fun! Interested in joining the San Jose Scottish Country Dance Class?

🏝️ From San Jose to Catalina Island! 🦈

Our local class was represented at the Catalina Island Workshop 💃🕺 Three of our San Jose dancers headed south for the Southern California Inter-Branch Workshop, joining over 30 members from across the SF Branch for an unforgettable weekend. 😍

It was so wonderful catching up with dancing friends from across California and beyond! We’re already counting down the days until we see everyone again soon!

Last Night’s dances taught by teacher Laura Cooper

Another night with live music from the San Jose Class Band! Huge cheers to our musicians—Mark, Kathy, and Linda—for keeping us on our toes with their incredible tunes! 🎶💃

Part of the magic of live music is the spontaneity, and Monday was no exception—we actually didn't use any of the recommended tunes for the dances! It kept everyone sharp and added a wonderful, fresh energy to the evening.

A massive THANK YOU to Juliet, who stepped in this past Monday at the very last minute to cover for Geoffrey (who was originally covering for Laura)! Talk about a team player! 🌟

As some of our dancers are heading off to the Catalina Island weekend, Juliet covered a few of the dances for that event. We had a fantastic session—we tackled some more challenging dances, and our newer dancers did an absolutely amazing job keeping up!

We are so proud of this community. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there’s nothing like the energy of live music and great company. See you on the dance floor! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨
