The enthusiasm for the BBC TV series Strictly Come Dancing comes to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum when the venue hosts a meal for dance lovers. This Valentine's weekend will be given a touch of foot tapping glamour at a Red Rose Supper Dance on 16 February.

The National Trust for Scotland property captures Burn's romantic spirit with an evening devoted to good food, good music, and good dancing as part of a weekend of celebrations. As well as a 'Red Rose' themed Craft Market, Farmer's Market and Family Fun Trail, the Saturday evening Supper Dance with live music will be feast of dancing talent.

Diners can join in or simply watch as experts take to the floor with steps and rhythms that would impress the Strictly judges. As in the TV show, professionals will be on hand with dazzling dances that are guaranteed to get watchers enthused.

Caroline McDonald from the Visitor Service team, is sure the Bard would approve. She said: "Burns loved the good life, and I'm sure would approve of folk having a good time on the dance floor. If anyone enjoys the TV show but aren't sure about taking part, they can simply watch and admire as our professionals demonstrate how it's done. But I hope everyone will take a lead from Burns, by joining in and take to the floor." The Robert Burns Birthplace Museum is a monument to the works and life of our National Bard, with the world's greatest collection of his artifacts. It not only shows the depth and complexities of the man, but is also a celebration of his talent. The Red Rose weekend is a fitting tribute to Burns and to 'love'.

The Red Rose Supper Dance is on Saturday 16 February between 7.30 and 11pm, and tickets costing �16 include a hot supper. For more details call the Museum on 0844 493 2601 or email burns@nts.org.uk.

Along with the Auld Kirk and Brig o' Doon, the cottage where Burns was born has been combined with the Burns Monument and the new award-winning museum building to form the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. Generously supported by the Scottish Government and the Heritage Lottery Fund, the museum commemorates the life and works of Robert Burns.

Since opening to the public in December 2010, the museum has welcomed more than 800,000 visitors and has won a series of accolades including being selected as a finalist for the prestigious Art Fund prize, securing a five star rating from VisitScotland and being named as Horace Broon's 'new favourite place in Scotland'.
