About the Luckenbooth Circle.
Luckenbooth is a fun and supportive social dance that takes place on the third Friday of every month from September through to May.
We walk all dances through, but appreciate it if people have taken the time to have a look at them before coming (scottish-country-dancing-dictionary.com). Some clubs (including Reel Club) practice the dances beforehand.
Programmes and cribs are available on this website at least a month prior to the event.
We break halfway though for a shared supper. Please bring your own food, which you can share, if you wish, with others on your table. Also please bring your own plate, mug and cutlery. Hot drinks are provided, and there will be snacks provided on each table.
News.
It’s the start of the 2025/26 season, and our first evening will be on Friday 19th September with an enjoyable programme of well known dances to ease everyone back in gently after the summer break.
Our big St Andrew’s dance will be on November 21st, with live music from the incomparable Keith Smith and Anne-Laure La Tour, we love them so much and like to think of them as almost our ‘house band’ these days, they are so appreciated and welcome.
And our Christmas dance will be on 19th December, as ever, the programme being tailored specially towards newer and less confident dancers who would like to soak up the atmosphere of a social dance with support and encouragement from more experienced partners.
There’s lots of lovely stuff planned for 2026, watch this space….
