Scottish Country Dancing in State College PA

In State College, Pennsylvania, there is Scottish Country Dancing most Tuesdays at 7:30 pm. Normally we dance on a good wooden floor at the Ferguson township elementary school, 215 W. Pine St., in Pine Grove Mills, a few miles outside of State College. (The school is on route 45 a block or so west of the center of Pine Grove Mills.) But when our room at the school is not available, we dance in another local school, so it is worth checking ahead of time to know where we will dance. We do not meet when the State College schools are not in session. While we are happy to welcome and encourage newcomers, we do request that beginners contact our instructor Martha Anderson — see below — concerning scheduling.

We have a dance party from time to time with live music by Strath Hanna.

For more information, contact Martha Anderson at +1 (814) 234-8769. Our group is called the Nittany Scottish Country Dancers.

State College is the home of Penn State University.
