Never Folk Danced before? No problem, why not try it. No partner or previous experience is necessary, just come along.

We dance with one of the experienced among us calling the dance. This means they walk us through a dance until we are happy with the steps and then we dance to the music. We do about six to eight dances per session with a twenty minute break in the middle for tea/coffee and chocolate biscuits, and of course, a chat.

Sadly there are more women than men, so, the blue sash means they are dancing the man's part
