GAY GORDONS EDINBURGH

We are Edinburgh’s friendly and welcoming Scottish Country Dance group for the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies and friends.

Come and try our friendly, relaxed classes if you enjoy learning a skill which is fun, sociable and good for fitness. Each class is taught by a qualified instructor.

Typical Scottish Country dances are jigs, reels and strathspeys, usually danced by pairs of dancers formed in sets to traditional Scottish music.

We welcome everyone willing to dance with anyone, regardless of gender. We are a trans-inclusive group and encourage dancers to join whichever side of the dance is their preference.

Our group includes dancers with all levels of experience, from complete beginners to the more advanced. Beginners are always welcome – the first class is free!

Established in Edinburgh in 2009, we are part of a family of Gay Gordons dance groups, with close ties to the Manchester Gay Gordons and London Gay Gordons.
