Bring the family along for fun, lively dances from Britain and beyond!
These high energy afternoon events give budding dancers a chance to take their first dance steps and spins. Live music inspires the dancing and expert callers guide the moves with simple instructions and gender-free calling.
Held monthly on weekend afternoons, our barn dances (also known as ceilidhs) are an excellent opportunity to discover the world of folk dance and music together in a relaxed, sociable atmosphere. They’re great exercise for all generations, too.
Always is such an amazing experience. I tend to go the wrong way with the "Dosey Doe" and end up giggling my way through the dances with my daughter.
Who is it for?
Bring all the family and take part in lively dances from Britain and beyond in a supportive and fun environment! Live music inspires the dancing and expert callers guide the moves with simple instructions.
Groups should include a minimum of one adult for every four children. Children under five must be partnered by an adult and may need guiding or carrying through the dances.
No unaccompanied children or adults!
The dances were very good. I enjoyed seeing the children doing the various difficult dances. It brought back memories of when I was younger and doing the dances too. Thank you for a lovely day. Keep up the good work – Grandparent
