Jody Kulas

Jody was raised in Foremost, AB and her journey into Scottish country dancing began after college when she attended her first class in Medicine Hat. She was instantly captivated by the vibrant energy and community spirit of the dance. This passion led her to pursue formal training, earning her Level 1 Certificate in 2006 and her Level 2 Certificate in 2008 at the Teachers' Association of Canada (T.A.C.) Summer School.

After moving to Ontario, Jody became an integral part of the Scottish country dancing community. She has taught various levels of classes with the RSCDS Ottawa Branch and the affiliated Ardbrae group. Currently, she is nurturing a new class in Pembroke, ON, where she finds immense satisfaction in teaching newcomers.
Jody's experiences have taken her across Canada to teach weekend workshops, at Pinewoods camp and return to the T.A.C. Summer School as an instructor. Her commitment to the community extended to serving on the T.A.C. committee, where she was the Director of Summer School for four years, organizing events in various locations across the US and Canada.

Since Covid, Jody has found a renewed appreciation for the social interaction that makes Scottish country dancing truly magical. For her, it is this social connection that brings the dance to life, creating a unique blend of excellent music and camaraderie that is unmatched by any other activity.
