Claygate Folk Dance Club
meet in Thames Ditton

The club has closed until further notice.
| We
are a friendly group of people who enjoy dancing. If you have been to
a Barn Dance you will have experienced a similar style of dancing to
ours, but we have a greater variety of moves, and usually it is not
so boisterous. As one of our regular dancers explained “We exercise
without noticing it. We meet and dance with friends, accompanied by
lovely music”. A
caller leads the evening. Dances are walked through 2 or 3 times
without music to practise the moves, and it is then danced. The
caller continues to give instructions over the music, so that
hopefully everyone keeps together. Beginners are most welcome, and the dancing is fairly straightforward to learn,
so come on your own, or with friends, as people often change partners
for each dance. If you want more information phone David on 020 8715
2148, or e-mail Pam on pamjonsoph@gmail.com.
All you need are soft shoes, comfortable clothing and a zest for a
new challenge. The first evening is free, so you can see if you like it. Subsequent
evenings cost £4.00 for members or £4.50 for visitors, and this
includes tea/coffee and biscuits in the interval. There is an annual
membership fee of £3.00. The St.Nicholas church hall and its car park have an entrance which is
surrounded by a tall brick wall. It is in Summer Road, almost
opposite Riversdale Road.
