Two examples of sequence dances taught are the Stoneacre Saunter and the St. James Jive. We are taught by our fantastic duo of professional teachers, Ann and Kevin Breen, who both have 40 plus years of experience in teaching dancing. Ann and Kevin are brilliant and will repeat new steps many times until everybody has mastered them and also go over ‘old’ steps to refresh our memories.
If you are interested in exercising mind and body through Ballroom Dancing, please contact the Group Leader, Duncan, to check availability and costing. All groups are at different levels so none would suit absolute beginners.
The Ballroom Dancing Group made its annual spring visit on Tuesday 15 March to Blackpool Tower Ballroom and enjoyed an afternoon of dancing. In the evening the group members had an excellent five course meal at the Hilton Hotel in Blackpool. At a total cost of £32 for the coach, ballroom entrance and meal this was excellent value for money.
The members of the Ballroom Dancing Group who number in excess of 100 certainly enjoy the group’s activities and are looking forward to future visits to the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
