Youth weekend for Scottish dancers aged 12-35 (ages 12-15 may attend classes on a non-residential basis) from beginners to advanced. Everyone is welcome. The weekend (17th-19th April 2015) starts with a 'Nice and Easy' dance on Friday night, classes during the day followed by 'Dance to the Musicians' on Saturday, ending with a brand new Sunday activity.
The RSCDS London Branch Musicians’ Workshop is an annual event and will take place during Spring Fling, on Saturday 18 April 2015. It will be held at St Columba’s Church, Pont Street and led by Jim Lindsay. This is for all musicians who want to learn more about playing for Scottish country dancing.

Trialling Finished!
As part of Spring Fling London 2015 we are holding a competition for young dancers to devise Scottish Country dances to be published by the RSCDS.
Entries have been submitted by people of Spring Fling age (12-35) from all over the world.
Dances have been trialled by young dance groups before Spring Fling. A shortlist of dances will then be judged by those attending Spring Fling during the Sunday morning workshop.
The winning dance will be named 'Spring Fling'. The remaining dances will be considered for future publication.
Spring Fling submission form is now CLOSED
