Watch for our sign along North Cove Road at the former Camp Columbia.
Have a great Canada Day, and we hope to see you all there!
Saturday, July 1, 2017 at 9:14AM The Thetis Island Scottish Country Dance Group cordially invites interested participants to attend a "Taste and See" session Wednesday July 5th, 4pm at the Community Hall. We would like to introduce attendees to some of the beginner steps and routines that are comprised in this very healthy mental and physical exercise. Go to link
which gives a very good description of the health benefits associated and also go to
http://scottishcountrydancingdictionary.com
to view some YouTube videos.
You can bring a partner but you do not have to have one; soft shoes and light clothing are advised. Be prepared for a good laugh, we are not terribly serious and most of us are past our "best before" date. However, all ages from mid teens to oldies are very welcome.
