Cobtree Scottish Country Dancing Group

The home of Scottish Country Dancing in Maidstone

Welcome to the Cobtree Scottish Dancing Group Website.


Scottish Country Dancing is fun and combines both physical and mental exercise. You don’t need a partner, special clothing or equipment to get started, just soft shoes.

We meet on Wednesday evening from 7.45 until 10 pm throughout the year at Grove Green Community Hall.

Our first meeting in 2025 is on the 8th January

Snow and Ice

If there is bad weather this winter there will be a message posted here to let you know if a club night has been cancelled.


Our Programme

Our weekly programme of dances is devised by our team of m/cs.
We try to make the evening interesting with dances ranging from old favourites to some new or less familiar dances.
We would welcome suggestions for dances to include in our programmes to give them more pizzazz or just because you like the dance.
Details of the programmes for the next few weeks are here.
