Members of the Warkworth Silver Oaks Scottish Country Dancing Club welcomed dancers from Kaiwaka, Ranfurly and Hibiscus Coast dancing clubs to their first birthday celebration recently.
The dancers danced a selection of jigs, reels and strathspeys together before sharing lunch.
Teacher Elaine Goldthorpe says Scottish country dancing is a fun way of getting and staying fit without knowing it.
“The dancing is very sociable and you don’t need a partner,” she says. “We all swap around partners to get to know each other.”
Elaine added that the safety of dancers was a priority.
“All ages are welcome and it is an ideal form of exercise for relaxing and keeping fit during retirement.
“Do come and try it out. We have heaps of patience with beginner dancers.”
From June 9, Warkworth Silver Oaks Club will meet in the Shoesmith Hall every Friday, from 10am to midday. Weekly fee is $5 (or $10 annually), which includes coffee and biscuit. Dancers need to wear soft soled flat shoes.
