Summer Shindig
We all had so much fun during our Winter Season with so many people coming dancing every month, we thought we’d throw a summer party! Loads of people have asked us to carry on the nights - so here we are, let’s do it… it’s going to be a hot and sweaty one, let’s raise the roof London! We’ll double the ice order and do frozen cocktails.

About The Dancing
Although called many things; Ceilidh, Country Dance, Barn Dance, Ceili Dance, Square Dance, Set Dancing - one thing is certain, it's all traditional and how people would entertain themselves before TV and raves. We have a live band on stage to provide the music, and a "Dance Caller", who is expert at teaching you all the simple and fun moves. First we learn the dance by walking through it with the caller, then the band strike up, and we dance to the music. You don't need any experience, just willingness to have a go.

Normally it’s an October - April thing, but heck, let’s do more..
