Jun | Summer Dancing Starts |
For the dancing classes, all that is needed is a pair of soft shoes, plenty of energy and a willingness to 'have a go'. All the dances are walked through first before being danced to music. There are plenty of 'old hands' around to help out and guide you through. Specific steps and formations are practised during the course of an evening.Annual functions include St.Andrew's Dinner & Dance, Burns' Night as well as Spring and Christmas dances.For non dancers, there are many other functions including the New Year celebration lunch, ceilidhs, games evenings, quiz nights, talks, musical evenings and outings.Photos from some of our previous events are shown below
