RSCDS Vienna Branch: Class and 20th Anniversary

Vienna Branch
of the RSCDS

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.

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!

For Upcoming Events see below.

Vienna Branch of the RSCDS is the club of Scottish country dancers in Vienna. Central to the club is the weekly course, where we have a beginners and an advanced session. Any SCD traveller through Vienna is welcome to join us for an evening.

We perform at charity events, weddings or any occasion, where a Scottish touch is appreciated.

Various times around the year we hold social dances for our guests and ourselves or travel to neighbouring clubs to join in with them.

The annual course has its weekly class each Wednesday
