Curriculum NIB

The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society - Norther Italy Branch (or simply NIB) is a cultural association born in Bologna, september 24, 2011, which deals with advancing and promoting education of the public in traditional Scottish country dancing.
The NIB works in northern Italy from its two headquarters: Vicenza (that is the registered office) and Bologna.
The NIB is the first registered Italian Branch of Royal Scottish Country Dance Society , and inherits from it both the educational system and the repertoire of dances, as tools to teach, practice and promote Scottish Country Dances, thanks to its certified teachers.

The NIB organizes:

  • Classes - Scottish Dance weekly classes for adults, lasting three hours, divided into three levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) during which the students are trained in both technique and repertoire of Scottish Dances. SCD classes for children, one hour long, during which children approach the technique and repertoire of Scottish Dances through both dance and play.
  • Stage - Intensive study and research workshops, aimed at special events, organized in collaboration with teachers and musicians of international level. Made in prestigious locations, they usually are combined with a Grand Ball.
  • Grand Ball - Formal Grand Balls, in traditional Scottish dresses, made in historic buildings, theaters and prestigious hotels. Usually with live music, often provide a walk through. Can be combined with a stage.
  • Performances - Sporting formal dress and often organized in collaboration with public and private institutions or associations. These are the events in which our members showcase what they've learned during the lessons.
