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.

The September 16 dances will be drawn from the list. The NI dance, Mairi’s Wedding, is the second one after the break. One of the John Drewry dances is The Blooms of Bon Accord. It was devised in 1971 to commemorate the winning by the City of Aberdeen of the “Britain in Bloom” Competition for the third successive year.

Ian Slater is playing for us on October 21, the first of two class nights this season with live music. He is also playing for us on March 17.

The Autumn term ends with our party night on December 16, when we will welcome Robert Whitehead and Alan Brown again to provide live music. They will also be playing for us at our party night on May 12 2027 at the end of the spring term.
