Founded in 1937, the club welcomes new members (singles or couples) or visitors with an interest in dancing. Our aim is
to promote the dances from the 17th. century to the present day that are
generally included in the term 'Folk Dances'. These may be the 'Playford'
dances, those by Pat Shaw, American style contras etc.
It is at barn dances that people often first meet this type of dancing but at a club such as
ours the range and style of dances encountered is much wider.
|
Regular club evenings are held throughout
the year on Tuesday evenings.
We also organise two
Saturday dances each year.
We hold a
Costume Ball ("Playford Ball") annually at which dancers are encouraged
to wear costume in the style of the late 17th to early 18th Century.
