A Typical Evening

In the first part of the evening, between 7-8.15pm, we teach 4 of the main reels (there are only 11 in total, so the taught dances rotate each month). The so-called ‘Social’ starts from 8.15pm (when the bar opens) during which we usually dance 6-8 reels, always including the same ones that were taught earlier. There are regular breaks to allow everybody to catch their breath and enjoy a drink with friends. It's always a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, perfect for first time visitors!

We don't do any teaching during the 'Social', but beginners are encouraged to stay as there are always many experienced dancers who are happy to pair up and help out. There are also 8-10 committee members present at all of our practice sessions, any of whom will be happy to help you.

The last dance finishes at 10.30pm, just in time for last orders at one of the nearby pubs!
