November More Reels for Reelers special session

We are holding a special session on Tuesday 18 November 2025 for experienced* reelers who want to try some different dances

See the flyer for more information.

To pay for a reeler ticket, visit our GoFundMe page and 'Donate' £15 there by 31 October.

* By 'experienced reelers' we mean that you can dance Mairi's Wedding or Posties Jig with just a quick walkthrough.

If you aren't at that stage yet, see our Links page for groups where you can get more experience, either as a reeler or with Scottish country dancing classes.

The Little Ship Scottish Dancing Club was founded over 50 years ago by Peter Knight, editor of the Collins "Scottish Country Dancing". It was originally based at the Little Ship Club in the City of London, and while keeping its name is now based in St Columba's Church, Pont Street, Knightsbridge.

We have three MCs - see the Diary for their dates:

- Peter Knight

- Davinia Miln

- Willie Lawrence

The Club is a social Scottish country dancing club for those who like a variety of reeling, jigs and strathspeys, sometimes including the twelve well-known dances found at most balls. We welcome newcomers who know the basic formations. The dances are always walked through and people are more than willing to help those new to the Club. We have a picnic during the break when attendees are encouraged to bring a snack or light supper. The evenings are fun, good exercise and we often dance to live music.
