February: Dulwich Folk Dance Club-Thursday Dance

8pm - 10pm. You’ve survived January, now it’s time to make the most of February.

Dulwich Folk Dance Club should like to welcome you, experienced or not, partnered or single, to its Thursday night dances at St Barnabas Parish Hall, 23 Dulwich Village, from 8pm to 10pm. Come join us, put a smile on your face and make new friends. You probably already know dancing is good for the body and mind and emotions, generating the “happy hormones”. We just find it fun! As a bonus, the hall is lovely, spacious and airy, so particularly great in these (anti-) covid times.

2pm -5pm. This is now a hybrid session with 15 artists allowed into the studio and also cameras for artists attending through Zoom. Paint a clothed model with a focus on the portrait over two three-hour sessions. We give you a wide view and a closer portrait view so you can work out the framing for yourself. The model will at times be engaged in conversation in order to bring some animation to the face. Online Location: www.dulwichartgroup.co.uk/wednesdayafternoon-zoom-portraiture/

Dulwich & Sydenham Golf Club, Grange Lane, College Road, Dulwich, SE21 7LH, UK

Even if you’re an inexperienced dancer, you can join in immediately and get the full benefit and joy of the event as all dances are first practised and then “called” as a reminder while we are dancing. And there are many people to partner you and show you how it’s done, should you need it. It’s very satisfying to complete a dance. No need to feel nervous or apprehensive. It’s a chance to meet new friends and have some fun. (We don’t bite!)

2ND FEBRUARY: Our caller tonight is Jane Lowe. We are fortunate that Jane is a Club member as she doesn’t call for just anybody! She also knows our strengths and can choose dances to suit our level of expertise, giving us an excellent evening. What’s to lose? Don’t miss out. Come and join us. You’ll enjoy it.

9TH FEBRUARY: It feels ages since we had Gwen Godwin as our caller but tonight’s the night! Gwen has many strings to her bow. Not only does she call English Folk Dances but also calls international folk dances and line dances. And she listens to our requests! So, we’ll certainly be in for an intriguing and unique evening.

16TH FEBRUARY: Tonight, the Club recognises St Valentine’s. And it is Sue Hastings who will be choosing the music and dances. As I have mentioned before, Sue is gaining quite a reputation and is in big demand to call at other Clubs. But we have her! Hooray! It’s going to be fun!

23 FEBRUARY: One of our most experienced callers will be calling tonight, Les Wallace. We know we will have a great evening with lots of laughs. Why don’t you join us? You’ll enjoy it.
