Angela Young was born and brought up in Aberdeen, Scotland, and grew up surrounded by music & dance – taking lessons from the age of 4, going on to study Music at Aberdeen University.  Moving to London to work with the BBC, Angela quickly became involved playing for branch classes and went on to teach both adults’ and children’s classes for the RSCDS London Branch, including the London Demonstration Team. Now back in Scotland, Angela has most recently been teaching for the St Andrews Branch.
As well as teaching day and weekend schools in the UK and Europe, she has taught at the RSCDS Summer and Winter Schools, at weekend schools in Toronto & Asilomar, and TAC and New Zealand Summer Schools. Training teams for Festivals and Competitions across the UK, Angela has also choreographed displays for a variety of events and spaces, including London’s Trafalgar Square and the Royal Albert Hall. She has adjudicated at various festivals including the Newcastle Festival in 2024 and is looking forward to going back there in February 2025.
As a musician she has played regularly at the RSCDS Summer School in St Andrews since the age of 18, as well as being one of the Directors for the Music Courses. Most recently Angela has just completed her term as RSCDS Membership Services Convenor and was proud to lead the team on the centenary publication for the Society, RSCDS Book 53 in 2023.
