Folk Dancing  

at Honiton Folk Dance Club

Beginners welcome!..........Everyone welcome!

Why not try learning in a friendly atmosphere?

Dances are held at the Royal British Legion Club, Honiton,
on most Mondays at 8 pm. Dates for 2009 here.

Andrew Mycroft and June are often joined by guest musicians. Live music is a feature of this club. A sample of 'Amycrofters' dance music should play as background to this webpage. Before coming to Devon, Andrew led a folk band in the West Midlands. The club caters for people of all ages and is keen to attract new members. Why not come along - by yourself or with a friend? Many people come by themselves.     Each attendance costs £3.00. You have little to lose (except maybe a few of your inhibitions)

Dances last from 8.00 to 10.15 pm with a tea break at half time. Joining a local dance club is the ideal first step if you have ever wanted to join in the exuberance of the famous Sidmouth Folk Festival. Honiton Folk Dance Club has live musicians and helpful callers.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of the Honiton club, or if you are considering folk music for a private party, please contact Andrew Mycroft on (01404) 46451

Basic folk dance moves are explained here.

Once you are reasonably competent you can enjoy Great Western's ceilidhs usually held at 8pm at John Stocker (Bowhill Primary) School, Buddle Lane, Exeter.
BUT BE CAREFUL of the severe road hump at the main school gate. You risk damaging your car if you go over this 'safety' measure at more than a slow walking pace!!
