Scottish Country Dancers come from a variety of backgrounds and age groups. There is no need to have Scottish ancestry! What unites is the love of Scottish Dancing. It's an enjoyable way to stay in shape, both physically and mentally, and it's a great way to socialize. There is an expression that "The music tells you what to do." The dances are set to music from bands comprising accordions, keyboard, drums, and sometimes fiddles. Other times pianos or bagpipes get us moving. Jigs and reels are fast lively dances while elegant strathspeys and Scottish waltzes are slower.

Newtonbrook United Church’s Scottish Country Dancers Adult Group was started in 1969 and meets on Monday evenings from 8:00 to 10:00 pm in the Auditorium, from September until April. The group is very friendly, and if anyone is interested in giving it a whirl, they may come and observe the dancing.
