Folk dancing is a pleasant, friendly social activity for all ages. The caller walks through each dance and tuition is given as needed. New dancers are always helped out. You don't need your own partner as people make up sets with whoever is available and every effort is made to include everyone present in each dance. Tea and biscuits are provided at "break-time".
