On 26th October, Tea Dancers arrived in Halloween style to dance their way through a series of spooky songs, kicking off with a Barn Dance to The Monster Mash; if you’d like to see the action, head over to our Facebook page.
Various outfits of skulls, spiders, wizard hats, pirate headscarves and one poor lass with blood oozing from her face added to the atmosphere and creepy crawlies lurked in the biscuits served at tea break before we launched into part two, finishing with a non-partner circle dance to ‘Spirit in the Sky’.

In the learning session we covered the Viennese Swing and later, Annie Lennox and the Stranglers provided two very different tunes to dance it to!
Full Tea Dances are held on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month with a learning session from 1pm – 2pm, followed by dancing from 2pm – 4pm with a break for tea and biscuits.
And on the 3rd Monday each month we’ve introduced a dedicated beginners’ dance. We still have an hour’s learning from 1pm – 2pm but between 2pm and 4pm we do fewer dances and include more practise; but no tea, sorry!
So whether you’ve never danced before, or can put ‘Strictly’ to shame, why not come along and join the fun?! Contact Sue via the details in the calendar – all dates and session details are on there. The cost is £2 whether you come at 1pm or 2pm.
