Vernon Scottish Country Dance Workshop

Instructor: Kay Sutherland

Kay began dancing in elementary school in Scotland as part of the Phys Ed program. After a gap when she first came to Canada, Kay resumed dancing when Dorothy Hargreaves started a class in Deep Cove in 1986 and began teaching at the class in 2007. Currently, Kay teaches the North Shore ‘Dance Scottish’ class. She has been the director of the Vancouver Branch Demonstration Team (Strictly Scottish) since 2016. Kay is a CTI trainer and RSCDS tutor responsible for training new teachers … and she loves Scottish Country Dance and music.
