We finished our usual weekly classes with a party night on Wednesday May 13, with music by Robert Whitehead and Alan Brown.

Normally we have a break from mid-May to early September, but until the end of July we are dancing on Wednesdays from 7.30 to 9.30 pm, at St Luke’s Church Hall, Franklin Square (see map). The aim of these sessions is to try out some potentially more challenging dances. The evenings cost £3 per person. Valerie’s p`1rogramme for Wednesday July 22. The ship in Full Sail may be danced as a 7 couple dance and The Old Spedling Castle’s Ghost’s Dance is a jig, but can be danced as a strathspey.

Term starts on Wednesday September 9 with dancing from 7.45 to 10 pm, at our new venue of St Luke’s Church Hall. A link to the next programme will appear on this page a few days beforehand, for those who like to look at the cribs and/or videos. Dances are always walked through on a Wednesday, apart from one No Instruction dance, which is for more experienced dancers only, who do not need a recap or walk through.

Ian Slater is playing for us on October 21, the first of two class nights with live music, one in each term.

The term ends with our party night on December 16, when we will welcome Robert Whitehead and Alan Brown again to provide live music.
