We also present occasional workshops in schools and festivals, develop choreographies for schools, host touring dance teachers and sometimes present demonstration performances.

Described variously by those who have read it as 'Ambitious', 'Phew' and 'Mad'; you just have to have your own copy!!

Planned Teaching Programme

Dalkeith Monday sessions will be largely revision of popular dances - a curated selection of new and old favourites. A feature dance is taught from time to time. Pam Williams and Jenny Currell have been preparing the Monday playlists since mid-2022

Dalkeith Saturday sessions, at the new time of 1:45, have reverted to teaching for about one hour followed by a playlist selected by the teacher and/or by Peter Fallon. Let them know if you would like to request a particular dance. Ask them to add your favourite dances
