The Folk Dance Group is a very friendly group. We dance ceilidh and traditional country dances with callers.
All members are welcome, no experience is necessary as full instruction is given. All the steps are 'called', so they are easy to follow, and it doesn't matter if you haven't a partner to go with, as we pair up for each dance with more experienced dancers supporting beginners. No one is left out.
The first Thursday of the month is easier dancing and everyone is welcome. The third Thursday is more demanding with slightly harder dances at a faster pace. Both sessions require a reasonable level of mobility and balance as a lot of dances have a turning move. Please wear suitable footwear to reduce the risk of injury.
The music is provided by musicians so we are frequently able to dance to different live instruments at each session - from a selection of concertinas, guitar, fiddle and drum. This helps to make it a special experience.
Come and dance with us for fun and fitness!
Our three words to describe our group: fun - lively - sociable
