Madison Scottish Country Dancers (MSCD) is a social group that enjoys
learning and dancing the traditional reels, jigs, and strathspeys of Scotland.
We hold an annual spring ball and sponsor dance parties and workshops throughout
the year. Occasionally we perform at local folk festivals, street fairs,
weddings, and other events. Our members, approximately forty in number, hail
from the south central area of Wisconsin. Annual membership dues are collected
in the fall, but membership is not a requirement. Beginners are welcome at any
time. It is not necessary to have a partner to participate.
MSCD is the John Muir (Wisconsin) Branch of the Royal Scottish Country
Dance Society of Scotland. For more information, see our promotional brochure or Wikipedia's Scottish Country Dance article.
