Dancing at The Beehive on 5th December

Bristol Set Dancing Weekend - a whole weekend of workshops and ceilis in Bristol, 12th - 14th May 2017.
Why not come to our Sunday classes and learn some sets first?

As summer holidays draw to a close, all the regular dancing events are starting up again. The Thursday class at Dinder Village Hall is back on Sept 1st, and their Sunday workshop and ceili on 4th. Monday evenings dancing with the Perfect Cure start again - at The Beehive in Bristol on 5th September, and the Star in Wotton on 12th and 26th. Shoscombe classes on Tuesday 6th and 20th.
Wotton Sundays at the Chipping Hall on 11th. See under "Other local groups" above for more details.

Great ceili in Bristol last Friday, with the Perfect Cure.

We danced a few figures at the Southmead Festival today.  We had an  audience (of more than 2!), maybe some will come along on a Sunday night! Everyone is very welcome, with or without a partner, beginner or more experienced.
We do a free taster half hour for beginners before the class, starting at 7.30 pm every Sunday - just ring Sharon on 07745 376 499 if you'd like to come for this.

As many of the regular dance events draw to a close for the summer break, I'd just like to remind you that the Sunday evening classes at Southmead Community Centre in Bristol will continue through the summer months.
Also in July, Monday evenings dancing to live music from the Perfect Cure will continue - Mon 4th July at the Beehive in Bristol, and Mons 11th and 25th July at The Star in Wotton (details under "other local groups", click on tab above).
For new or inexperienced dancers we are offering a free half hour introductory class before the start of the regular class at Southmead, from 7.30pm every Sunday. Please let Sharon know (tel 07745 376 499) if you would like to come along to this.

Please note, there will be NO dancing next Mon 27 June, in The Star in Wotton. This is because of the football!

Please note:
Ceili in Bristol on Friday 15th July - the band will now be The Perfect Cure. £8 entrance, pay on the door. Doors open 7.30 pm.

See under "Calendar" (click on this above) for more details.

For those of you new to Irish set dancing, who would like to learn the steps and moves in a beginners' class, we are running a taster session at the Folk House in Bristol on Saturday 2nd July.
