Roger Underwood
Deputy Co-ordinator

Our excellent caller explains the movements for each dance, and you don't need to come with a partner. The more experienced dancers are happy to help beginners and those less confident, and we change partners frequently. It's fun and sociable to dance with a variety of people. The emphasis is on enjoying the dancing, while exercising both body and mind.

As with all groups, it is advisable to contact the Co-ordinator before you first visit us.

We are a friendly group, so why not contact us for more information if you think you'd like to join us?
