Country Dancing
Our Country Dancing group meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month from September until Easter when we break for the summer.
We meet at the Methodist Church Hall on the Waits in St Ives from 10.30am until 12 noon for a small charge towards the hire of the hall.
As our space is limited, we have a maximum membership of 32. If you are interested, you may have to join a waiting list, depending on the popularity at the time.
What do we do?
We are no experts, but enjoy leading the group in traditional partnered dances, circle, long and square sets. You may know some of the dances from your school days! Remember the Gay Gordons, Barn Dance, Valeta, Circassian Circle, Stripping the Willow? These are some of the dances we try, but also some new ones: Bladon Races, Buttered Peas & Star Treking to name but three!
We introduce all dances with a demonstration (if we can get it right) and dance them at a steady pace. Don’t worry if you are on your own - there will be others who will join up with you as a partner and you will quickly make friends.
We ask you to bring a drink for the breaks we take during the morning, and we also ask you to provide us with a contact phone number just in case!
We have completed a Risk Assessment for our sessions which is available for you to see.
Soft shoes are needed, and a smile on your face! It’s fun…..
