I agree totally with both Hannah and Alex about the social aspect of SCD 
being very important. I had 2 of my group, who had only taken up dancing 
about 3/4 years ago and had retired down to the south of France, told me 
that dancing had been their entree into a social life with both ex-pats 
and locals and were very grateful for it. It doesn't matter what age you 
are, SCD is very social and gives you a great social life enabling you 
to meet and become friends with many you would never have met otherwise. 
It certainly gave me a great point of contact when I moved to the 
Netherlands over 20 years ago, not knowing anyone and unable to speak Dutch.
