History of the FSCDC e.V.
The Frankfurt Scottish Country Dance Club (FSCDC, without the “e.V.” at the time) was founded 1963 by Franziska Völker and David Morton, as part of the Frankfurter Tanzkreis (in the Frankfurter Jugendring e.V.. The founder of the Frankfurter Tanzkreis, Franz Palm, was aware of the FSCDC but didn’t do Scottish dancing himself.
The FSCDC e.V. as a separate association was founded on 13 November 2018.
Scottish Country Dancing in Frankfurt consists, for the most part, of a “general class” for dances of all ages and levels of experience. Over the years we have taught technique and dances, but having fun was always a priority. During the late 1960s and early 1970s there even was a “demonstration team” where the better dancers practiced for performances. (Today we do this more informally.)
Since 1968 there has been the Frankfurt Spring Ball, where each year almost a hundred dancers from all over Germany and neighbouring countries meet.
