Dance Information

Charlotte Square is located at the west end of George Street, intended to mirror St. Andrew Square in the east. Initially named St. George's Square in James Craig's original plan, it was renamed before completion after King George III's Queen and first daughter, to avoid confusion with George Square, in the south of the city.
