Day School – Saturday 9th March
Touch up your dancing, improve your enjoyment, meet people, dance with the Day School Musicians.
The Branch Dancers’ and Musicians’ Day School and Evening Dance is on Saturday 9th March at Weydon School in Farnham. There are classes for both the more and the less experienced followed by teas and cakes.
Non-Day School attendees are welcome to join the dance. All dances will be walked once.
Scottish Country Dancing is a form of social dance enjoyed worldwide. The dances are danced in groups called sets, normally of three or four couples. It is fun and an exercise for both the mind and body. See Starting Scottish Country Dancing if you would like to know more and how to start.
