Thank you for joining us at Blue Ridge.  We're so looking forward to dancing with you.  We need to understand dancers' abilities to organize classes.  Blue Ridge Scottish Dance School is committed to helping all students improve their skills in all aspects of SCD, including footwork, phrasing, sociability, teamwork, covering, eye contact, handing, and posture. As such all classes will emphasize these elements of good dancing.  Lists of formations are at the bottom of the page which are referenced in the questions below.  Please complete and submit the form below to help us get to know you.
