About the RSCDS Portland Oregon Branch
We are passionate Scottish Country Dancers!
Located in Portland, Oregon, we teach and dance the social dances of Scotland and promote interaction and friendship with nearby RSCDS branches. DANCING Is Back!!!! Dancing has resumed effective Monday, September 11th, 2023. Subsequent nights will have fundamentals taught in the first half of the class, and the second half will focus on intermediate and advance skills. The beginning dancers are welcome to stay and watch the second half. More Details on the Events Page, but a quick snap shot of upcoming local events: May 11th @ 2:30 - Hurray for Linda Mae. The Portland and Southwest Washington Branches celebrate the contributions made by Linda Mae Dennis as she approaches her retirement from teaching. There will be dancing, reminiscing and more. The six dance program features some of Linda Mae's favorite dances.
