8pm - 10pm. Experienced or not, partnered or single, you are invited to come country (aka folk) dancing at St Barnabas Parish Hall, Dulwich Village. 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”. And there are many people to partner you and show you how it’s done, should you need it. 1 September: To kick the season off for us, this evening we have Les Wallace calling. With a wealth of experience and a relaxed humorous approach, it’ll be a perfect start. Come and dance. You’ll enjoy it. 8 September: Our caller tonight is Sue Hastings, a Club member. Sue is often asked to call at other clubs and is now getting quite a name for herself. So we are delighted to have her and know the evening will be great. Come and try. You’ll enjoy it. 15 September: We’re in for a treat, tonight, as Jane Lowe will be our caller. Don’t know how she manages it but Jane finds some wonderful dances for us, keeping our minds active and our toes twinkling. Come and shine with us! 22 September: Lovely Joyce Woods is calling for us tonight. The music she uses is also particularly lovely. So we’re expecting a great evening. Come dance with us! 29 September: Tonight is a special evening. It’s our Playford dance evening, called by Michele Odell. Michele has cut back on calling but is taking time to come to us, so the evening is even more special. Maybe you’re wondering what Playford dances are(?)
