HO-HO-KUS CLASS FOR NEW DANCERS

Scottish country dancing is great exercise, eminently social, mentally stimulating, and fun!

Scottish Country Dance: Basics Class
Tuesdays 7:00 to 8:00 pm at the Community Church of HoHoKus

During the regular dance year the hour from 7 to 8 pm is geared toward introducing new dancers to Scottish country dancing. In addition to new dancers, our more experienced dancers - those who enjoy supporting newcomers and those who want to work on sharpening their own skills - are encouraged to attend.

We meet every Tuesday (except on major holidays - the schedule is here) and new dancers are most welcome to walk-in and start attending the Basics Class at any point in time.

Come by yourself or with a friend – you’ll dance in “sets” with other new dancers and some experienced dancers to help you along. Bring a pair of non-slippery soft shoes, sneakers, or ballet slippers – no special equipment needed.

If you'd prefer a more formal setting in a group starting together, we plan to offer a new dancer class beginning in February 2025. This class, offered through the Midland Park Community School, is 6 sessions held at our regular dance site in Ho-Ho-Kus. Classes assume no previous experience and you will learn the steps, dance patterns (“formations”) and easy dances each week.

We will publish the links to the Midland Park Community School Spring Brochure, with class schedules and registration information, when it comes out. Watch this page or our home page for details.

COVID PRECAUTIONS

(As of of Fall 2024) Covid vaccination is strongly recommended; please consider the other dancers. Masking is not currently required.
