The Saskatoon Group was formed in 1954 by two young ladies, Nan Frame and Nan Reid, who gathered a group and began dancing in Nan Reid’s basement. The next year, the Saskatoon group became affiliated with the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. (From Let’s Dance – A History of Scottish Country Dancing in Saskatchewan.)
We welcome all dancers (and anyone who wishes to dance).

The Saskatoon logo, designed by Kathleen Cunningham, depicts the rampant lion surrounded by a Celtic knot inside the name of the club. All that rests on a bed of thistle, wheat stalks and Saskatoon berries. The moto ‘Dannsa Gu Madainn’ translates from Gaelic as “Dance Until Morning”.
