What to Expect at Club Nights

Our club nights are the cornerstone of the Tokoroa Scottish Country Dance Club experience, held every Thursday during school terms.

Held at Amisfield School Hall, these sessions are designed to be welcoming and engaging for all skill levels. All you need to bring is a drink bottle, a pair of soft-soled shoes, and a willingness to have fun—dancing shoes are even available for hire if you don’t have your own. As an added bonus, your first two visits are free, providing a no-risk opportunity to explore this enriching activity in Tokoroa.
