Think about Membership. . .
Members get a discount on classes (and other events), but there are broader reasons to become a Member of RSCDS Toronto.
From a ‘big picture’ point of view, classes would not exist without membership fees to support the training of teachers (equivalent to a university course, in difficulty and expense), the testing and publication of dances, and the production of CDs for the music we dance to.
Plus, Members are part of a world-wide international organization that maintains standards and safeguards the heritage and history of Scottish Country Dancing so it can continue to thrive.
So, please, cheerfully join-up. You will receive our monthly newsletter Set & Link and twice a year you’ll get Scottish Country Dancer magazine directly from Scotland.
