Bundy Scottish Country Dancers is a sports club located in Bundaberg, Australia. Established in 2002 by three founding members who have had a passion for dancing since the 1950s, this club aims to share their love for Scottish Country Dancing with anyone willing to learn. Unlike Highland solo dancing, Scottish Country Dancing is a social activity performed in groups of couples either facing each other in lines or in squares. The primary goal of this type of dancing is pure pleasure and enjoyment.
Scottish Country Dancing is an excellent way to meet new people as it is danced in set formations, allowing everyone to dance with each other. The dances are usually progressive, meaning that couples move down the set at the conclusion of each turn of the dance until they reach the bottom. This pattern continues as each couple takes their turn to progress to the bottom until the dance is completed. During classes, the basic steps, movements, and formations are taught and grouped together to form a dance.
The focus is on learning the formations rather than specific dances, allowing dancers to have more freedom and versatility on the dance floor.
At Bundy Scottish Country Dancers, everyone is welcome, regardless of age. Participants do not need to bring a specific dance partner as the club encourages socialisation and mixing among dancers. However, if individuals prefer to dance with a specific partner, that is also acceptable. With over 16,000 dances available, including 300 popular favourites, boredom is not a concern in this club.
Scottish Country Dancing offers numerous benefits beyond just the enjoyment of dancing. It provides a good source of exercise for both the mind and body while fostering the formation of new friendships. The concentration required during the dances serves as an ideal form of stress management, as it diverts one's focus solely to the dance itself. Many individuals have become addicted to Scottish Country Dancing and have found it to be a fulfilling and enriching activity.
