Nanaimo Scottish Country Dancers
Vancouver Island, B.C.
Come have a ball and stay fit at the same time!
Welcome
Scottish Country Dancing is an easy way for people of all ages to keep active and socialize at the same time.
It is enjoyed all over the world at club socials, balls, and for advanced dancers, in demonstration teams.
You don't need a partner, all you need to begin are treadless soft-soled shoes and comfortable clothing.
In the meantime these videos will give you a good idea of what to expect: fun, fitness and friendship.

Nanaimo SCD announcements regarding the spread of the coronavirus/covid-19
It is with regret that the Board of Directors of the Nanaimo Scottish Country Dancers advises that, due to the covid-19 pandemic, it will not be possible to plan for a resumption of classes or events in September 2020. This arises from both the Club's own need to comply with BC Medical Health directives and the availability of venue(s) suitable for dancing and the ability of the authorities responsible for those facilities to make them available. At this time the Board is committed to resuming the operations of NSCD only when it may be safe for everyone to do so and no date is known for this now. The Board of Nanaimo SCD has decided to announce that there will no Ball in January 2021.
