The Northern Dance Club is a dance club based in Westhill, meeting at a local hotel. It brings people together for social dancing in a relaxed, sociable setting. It suits anyone who enjoys an evening of dancing and good company.
A first-time visitor described absolutely loving it, which captures the club's friendly, welcoming character. As a social club rather than a formal school, the emphasis is on enjoyment and taking part alongside others.
Being a social dance club, the focus is on getting together to dance rather than a fixed timetable of graded lessons. Evenings typically give newcomers and regulars alike the chance to dance in a supportive group. If you would like to know exactly what happens on a given night, it is worth contacting the club before you go.
As one newcomer found, a first evening is easy to enjoy and warmly received. Wear something comfortable and neat that you can move in, and get in touch beforehand if you are unsure what to expect.
The club meets at a hotel in Westhill, easily reached by the town's main roads with parking generally available. It is a handy spot for those coming from Westhill and nearby Aberdeenshire.
