Practices and Joining Us<\/h3>\n

We practice in Chinley in on a Monday evening. If you are interested in meeting with us, or joining us, please see the Practices and Joining page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dance Out With Us, Invite us to Dance<\/h3>\n

We like dancing out with other sides. If you’d like to visit our local area, drop us a line and we’ll arrange something. Alternatively, we’d love an invitation to join you.<\/p>\n

We also like a good day out, being part of folk music\/dance events in our region, and would welcome an invitation, although we might just try to invite ourselves.<\/p>\n
