Term Start

Welcome to a new term full of dancing and other social activities! Our classes will run again from next week, please do note the venue changes though! Only the classes at Lutton Place stay where they are, all other classes will be held in a different venue this term!
For step classes on Monday we have the Summerhall (Vet School), for Tuesdays St Columbas by the Castle and for Highland the Potterrow Dome.
On Wednesday, 19. January there will be a taster class at the Pleasance from 6pm – 8pm, where you can have a first try at all the different dancing styles we are teaching – and the best thing is: it is absolutely free! So if you have never danced step, highland or ceilidh and want to have a go at it, or have some friends who are curious about this, do come along!
Please do also remember that there will be lots of other events this term, like Refreshers’ Weekend, Annual Dance and IVFDF in Bristol!
