Both RSCDS New Zealand Branch and RSCDS have new websites, great improvements and lots of new resources and information. Well worth a look. The site addresses are the same as before:

The Easter School 2019 registration forms are out (click on the link). To be held in Owaka in the Catlins, 19th to 22nd April, there will be 3 levels of class offered with 3 highly regarded teachers. Accommodation has been reserved by the organisers until late October – so act quickly to take advantage of this.
After the success of the Ceilidh there has been a lot of interest from young people so a juniors group has been started. Meeting from 6:30 to 7:30PM on Wednesdays the first half hour will be just the juniors, it will then overlap with the start of the adult group and we will dance together.
Great weekend, Ceilidh on Friday night, Beginner/intermediate class with Diane Bradshaw on Saturday and a social dance on Saturday night. Live music for everything from Glenfiddle (Anne-Marie Forsyth, Sharlene Penman, Margaret Peace and Natalie Scott). Wonderful support from dancers from Dunedin, Invercargill, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland and caller for the Ceilidh, Ruth Budden.
Here is some video of the dancing on Saturday night Lawrence SCD 18th May 2018
A great evening, particular thanks to the visiting dancers from Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin, and the the Lawrence dancers who did flowers, catered and cleared up and most importantly who danced so well.
Here are a few video clips of the evening: Lawrence SCD 2017
