A Community Hub in Waikato

At the heart of Tokoroa, in the South Waikato district, our club meets at Amisfield School Hall on Moffat Road. This central location makes it easy for locals and visitors from across the Waikato region to join in. Beyond our regular club nights, members have the chance to connect with other dancers from the wider Waikato Bay of Plenty area through various events. These include informal dances as well as more formal balls, offering a chance to showcase skills and celebrate the traditions of Scottish Country Dancing. Additionally, there are opportunities for further learning and skill development at summer schools, weekend workshops, and day schools held throughout the region.
