Scottish Reels & Ceilidh Dancing
Come along and enjoy Scottish Traditional Reels at Oyne Reel Club
Traditional Scottish Reels is a fun form of social dancing and goes back hundreds of years. Sitting somewhere between Ceilidh Dancing and Scottish Country Dancing, it's a little less formal than Scottish Country Dancing, with only 12 dances to learn, which are easy to pick up and can be enjoyed for a lifetime. Individual styles can be expressed and are readily encouraged. With lots of burls, turns and laughter, we have a great time at Oyne Reels! Meeting once a month in Aberdeenshire, people come from far and wide to join us. We also enjoy some Ceilidh dancing.
Teaching the traditions of Scottish Reels
What to expect at our monthly meets
- A warm welcome
- Tuition on Scottish Reels
- Access to the wider Scottish Reels community
- A fun time for all the family
Without taking things too seriously, we'll teach you all you need to know and give you lots of opportunity to practice, meeting new friends along the way.
DATES
Where it all began...
The Oyne Reel Club was first established in April 1999 to support the Millennium Weekend Celebrations in June 2000. Part of the Millennium weekend activities included a ceilidh and the Reel Club was started to prepare people for this part of the celebrations. After the success of the Millennium weekend there was enormous enthusiasm to hold regular social gatherings and an annual calendar of events was established including a May Ball and a St Andrew's Ball.
