Dear Dancing Friends,

Refresh, Reactivate, Rejuvenate and Revitalise Your Dancing Skills!

From our header you will see that we are joining with Bury Reel Club and Beccles Caledonian Society to run a Day School on the 7th of June. With general and advanced classes, plus a short social dance to conclude, it's a great opportunity to come and brush up your dancing skills in enjoyable company.   Our teacher will be Kate Gentles, and music will be by Barbara Manning.  Full details and application forms here.

Classes are running at Bredfield (Woodbridge Group) on Wednesdays, check details at the information links below. Bredfield classes are starting earlier this term,  for beginners and improvers from 7pm until 8:30pm, and then the normal class from 7:30 to 9:30pm, so there will be an overlap. We have several new dancers this year and more are welcome. Just get in touch. The first evening is free for you to try it out.

The Nacton class (Fridays) has finished for this season, but hopefully will be back in the autumn.

Looking further forward, we will jointly host the second East Anglian Ball with our dancing friends from Norfolk, Cambridge and Bury St. Edmunds. We will again be dancing to the joyful playing of Keith and Anne-Laure.

Videos of dances

Many people now use the YouTube videos to help with learning new dances, or just refreshing their memory on old ones, and these can be found via links on the Scottish Country Dance Dictionary cribs pages. However, not all dances have videos, and that applies particularly to locally devised dances such as The Saxtead Mill, Gillian's Strathspey and Jim and Margaret's Jig.  So the Woodbridge class has been busy filling a few gaps.

The very best wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year,
