The Club meets at the Annunciation Church Hall in Bournemouth. It has a superbly sprung dance floor that encourages us all to get onto the floor & enjoy the dance. We will give any English, American or Scottish folk dance a go!
We encourage all. New members to dance, & experienced members to try out their calling skills.
We dance a wide variety of dances, from the old rustic country type - Barn Dances, through the `Pride & Prejudice` style of courtly dances (Regency & Playford dances), & the Scottish Ceilidh style of dances, to modern day American Squares & Contra dances, & now, new Historical English style dances from all over the world.
We dance in anyway we each feel the music – walking, skipping or step-hopping! Recorded music is generally used with many modern renditions of the old tunes and most delightful new ones. We walk through each dance to start with, and then the moves are called during the dance. Thus: members of all abilities enjoy dancing together. Experienced dancers often assist when & where necessary.
We hold some special occasion dances:
Our Day of Dance in early spring, held for the last 2 years, has been very well received. Come along this year & enjoy!
There is also a Summer Dance, which we arrange jointly with the Salisbury Folk Dance Club. Details of these dances & more, can be found on our Specials page.
