Our Folk Dance Group has now been running for a number of years. With around twenty members we are fortunate to be able to use the modern and spacious Brass Band Hall in Daneholme Close which is at the corner of Ashby Road and Daneholme Avenue, Daventry.

As we have to hire the hall there is a weekly charge for attendance at £3.50 per Person.

It is good to see how all the members now thoroughly enjoy the many different forms of dancing created over the centuries; from elegant Playford (a la Jane Austen) to American contra and squares, including English Barn Dances and Scottish Reels. Our callers use audio equipment and a wide variety of recorded music. We all start with little or no knowledge of the various dance moves but they walk us through each dance before actually dancing to the music.

If a particular dance appeals to people, then requests for repeats are always welcome.

We take a brief break for refreshments half way through each session. 

Not only is Folk Dancing a fun social activity, but also an excellent way of keeping both body and mind healthy.

We have some regular male dancers, but the ladies greatly outnumber them and so we would appreciate some more male participants.  So, gentlemen don’t be shy, come along and show the ladies that you can do it.

If you are interested then just turn up at the Hall at the appropriate time.  We could be full, but don't worry - we will always fit you in !
