20th Anniversary:

The RSCDS Vienna Branch was founded in May 1989. This 20^th anniversary was celebrated with a long Weekend of Scottish Country Dancing (30 April - 3 May, 2009) at Grand Hotel Sauerhof in Baden near Vienna.
With about 130 dancers from 15 different countries it was a wonderful and international event. We had excellent courses with Susi Mayr and Graham Donald as teachers and lots of fabulous music by Muriel Johnstone and Keith Smith.

Furthermore, on that occasion the Vienna Branch published the Vienna Book of Scottish Country Dances.

For the moment, some pictures are available here. More pictures and information about what dances were taught in the classes will be available soon.

We are glad that we had so many enjoyable hours of dancing, chatting and celebrating with all of you. Thank you so much for joining and making it an unforgetable event!
