    All members are encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting of the RSCDS Twin Cities Branch.  As required by our bylaws, this meeting is held annually to conduct official business including electing new board members, but also as a way to review the past year and to recognize and thank those who have made it all happen.  Bring treats if you wanna eat!

    The agenda will be shared by two weeks prior to the meeting.

    Performance Repertoire Preview Social

    Performance Repertoire Preview Social


    June 3, 2024

    Come and enjoy an evening of social dancing. The program just happens to be our new performance repertoire.  You don't need to be planning to perform with the branch to come, but this is a great opportunity to get a sneak peek at the dances we'll be rehearsing starting in July.

    Note that dances will be in a different order than they appear in the repertoire and may be danced as originally written (not with special performance endings).
