This year our team is going to explore the magical and unique Scottish culture.
Over the centuries Scotland remained faithful to its traditions, keeping its dancing culture uninterrupted, which makes this part of the world a treasure in European history.
Taking its roots from the days of the ancient Celtic kings and the rule of the clan system, Scotland's culture is not frozen in time. It is a living and ever-changing phenomenon that forms a core of a Caledonian nation.

FAQ
The essence of Scottish culture through dance
Time to try the essence of Scottish culture through dance.
It is not easy to learn the basics of classical ballroom dancing but it is even harder to find a partner to attend the ball with. In Scottish dancing, you just need to go to the centre of the hall, and you can change partners every dance!
A group of professional dancers show the dance. Further, one member of the group leads those who wish to join the dance. The ball host explains every part of it until everybody seems to understand. Each dance lasts from 5 to 10 minutes. The dance moves are not that difficult, they just need to be repeatedly practised!
We recommend to follow Robbie Shepherd to find a step-by-step guide.

A Palace stepped in history
Palais Niederösterreich's history has significance on a political and on a social level and its presence can be felt in the premises to this day. The beginnings date back to the late Middle Ages.
1513
As the political representative of lords, knights, prelates, and cities, the estates general acquired the villa in order to be in the immediate vicinity of the sovereign and to hold meetings in Vienna. Valuable features of this late Gothic villa, such as its chapel and the Gotische Zimmer – Gothic Room, are still intact.
16th century
The Renaissance-style Landtagssaal – Parliament Hall – was built and vaulted in the middle of the 16th century.
1710
The Landtagssaal was furnished during the Baroque period with magnificent scagliola on the walls and Antonio Beduzzi's impressive ceiling fresco, which symbolises glory and honour and is the largest continuous ceiling mural in Austria. Besides being a place where political matters were dealt with, the Landtagssaal was also a popular venue for balls and concerts with many major world premieres being held there in the 18th and 19th centuries.
1861
The Provincial Parliament of Lower Austria took over the villa from the estates general after the people's representation came to an end in 1848, the year of the revolution.
21st October 1918
Citing the right of self-determination of the people, German-speaking parliamentary members of the Upper House formed the 'Provisional National Assembly of the Independent Austro-German State' in the villa.
1922
The representatives of the people of Vienna and Lower Austria used the villa jointly until 1921. The villa has belonged to the Lower Austrian provincial government since Vienna gained independence on 1st January 1922.
1997
The Provincial Parliament of Lower Austria relocates to the new provincial capital, St. Pölten.
2005
The renovation was carried out in accordance with the regulations for listed buildings and Palais Niederösterreich has since been used in its present form as a centre for events.
Remnants of the foundations of a medieval building – presumably the 'House of Liechtenstein' – were found in the courtyard during the conversion and restoration work between 2002 and 2004. Alongside a wide variety of glass and ceramic vessels, simple and fine tableware were also found.
