Would you like to learn Scottish Country Dancing?

Here is your opportunity.

Our Beginners Classes are held each Tuesday evening from the second Tuesday in September until the end of May, in the Courtauld Room at Potten End Village Hall, alongside the normal club evening, starting at 8.15 pm.

The course of classes runs on a termly basis for approximately 1 hour.  You will learn the steps, the formations and a new dance each week. After an hour, the beginners join the main club for refreshments and then everyone enjoys dancing that evening’s beginners’ dance together.

The only requirements are a pair of soft shoes (trainers will do for the first couple of weeks), a willingness to move and an enjoyment of Scottish Music! Besides being a great exercise for both your body and mind, it is fun too. You don’t need to be Scottish and you don’t need to bring a partner!

The first evening is free and then there is a small charge of £3 per lesson with a discount for paying per term in advance.

If you would like further information, or just to chat about what is involved, please telephone Jane Rose on  01923  261 167
