Evening

There will be Rock and Roll, Jive, Salsa, Eastern European, Ceilidh dancing and possibly a few more surprises. Don’t worry if you’re a beginner – there will be experienced dance teachers on hand to guide you through the basics. This is not a 'Strictly Come Dancing' experience, but a 'have some fun with dancing' experience, and our hosts, Steve and Jeanette (below) will make sure there is plenty of that...
