After a year's wait, I can't wait for our next Scandi Dance on Saturday 7 March! Come and dance, play or just enjoy the atmosphere.
As you may have heard, you can also come for some music and dancing on the Friday too: Adam Cade has organised a French Dance on Friday 6 March -- why not come for both?
All events will take place in the newly-refurbished Northwick Hall, at the back of the Northwick Arms, High Street Ketton (PE9 3TA).

Booking:
You can buy tickets for the workshops and the bals on the door if you like (numbers permitting), but you need to book some things in advance:
