Events

We practice most Wednesday evenings during term time (see contact us page for more details).

In addition we dance out frequently, especially during the summer months. The venues range from central London locations such as the Guildhall and the HMS Belfast on the Thames to special days out in other towns such as Rochester in Kent and Malden in Essex. We also dance out locally at places such as pubs, shopping centres, local clubs and societies, churches and day centres.

Details of events are sometimes arranged and changed at short notice so it is advisable to check before you travel to an event. For contact details to check or book events see the contact us page.
