Classes
Come Join The Fun
Scottish Country dance classes are great for exercising and socializing.
Winter Classes start January 18, 2012; Spring Classes start March 28, 2012 at the Moili'ili Community Center on King Street near University Ave. (click for Map). Classes begin at 7:00 p.m. with easy steps and simple dances for beginners, and warm-up for experienced dancers. We will then be stepping it up a notch from 7:30 - 9:00 pm with more advanced dances and techniques. Registration is through the Moili'ili Community Center (955-1555). Fees are slightly reduced if you become a member of the Moili'ili Community Center - the membership year is January 1 - December 31. Fees for 10 sessions: $40 for each term or $33 for members of the Moili'ili Community Center. Call the Moili'ili Community Center for a registration form, or come to class and register in class.
Contact Bruce McEwan at 538-7707 or Melissa Lindsay (256-3347) for more information on the classes.
Membership in the RSCDS-Hawaii branch is seperate, and primarily supports the activities of RSCDS. The RSCDS-Hawaii branch sponsors a dancing - and usually dining - social event once a month. All are welcome!
We put on dance demonstrations at various occasions, including the Moilli'ili Fair at Stadium Park, the Children & Youth Fair at the Hawaii State Capitol grounds, Burns Supper, and the Hawaiian Scottish Festival. For information for having a Scottish Country Dancing presentation at your event, call one of the instructors.
Instructor Bruce McEwan attained his preliminary certificate in 1993 in Honolulu, HI and has been teaching at the Hawaii Branch RSCDS ever since. Besides teaching in Hawaii, Bruce has danced in St. Andrews, Boston, Chicago, Southern California, and has taught and danced in Japan.
Bruce tries to impart in the students the idea of importance of technique and phrasing as a means to truly appreciate all that a dance can be. He is a firm believer that SCD has an energizing effect and encourages all levels of dancers to have fun with the dance.
Instructor Melissa Lindsay attained Level 1 certification in July 2009 in Saint Andrews, Scotland. She co-teaches at Moili'ili Community Center.
