is a Fellowship Group of The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church that usually meets on Friday evenings from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm on the 3rd floor of the church house starting in September and ending in June. We offer separate classes for beginner and experienced dancers followed by social dancing for all after the tea break.
No prior experience required. We'll teach you everything you need to know to dance with us; you'll exercise your brain as well as your body, while socializing with some great folks.

Our regular Ceilidh dance class on 27 March is the last one before the Tartan Week events start. Come join us to brush up or learn some ceilidh dances so you can be a part of the action at the parties!

We started on 26  September with a Ceilidh (kay-lee) dance party cosponsored by the Caledonian Club of New York. Ceilidh dances are informal dances common at Scottish parties and events such as our annual Burns Supper. Ceilidh dance classes will be the last Friday we dance each month. Our class on 31 October was a Halloween Party.

On the other Fridays of each month, we will teach Scottish Country Dances. These are more formalized dances that were the predecessor to American Square Dances. Our first dance party was 3 October. Follow this link for the program.
