Launceston Folk Dance Group reflects on an exciting year

Having restarted Launceston Folk Dance Group following the summer break, members have been enjoying the fun and exercise that Tuesday nights provide.

With several callers - whose job is to not quite yell, but give instructions so people can dance to some fast or slow tunes - dancers have been given a lot of variety. Open to everyone, the club offers evenings of fun and friendship. One caller has developed dances where a partner is not needed - so no excuses for sitting out - while the club is welcoming back a couple from Redruth who will be leading members on a couple of evenings.

The Dartmoor Pixie Band

The Autumn Dance was held on 19th October, when Jane Thomas and A Pair of Shears, brother and sister team, led a fun evening. Their journey from Collumpton was appreciated, and who would have thought that two talented musicians could and did share so much of their talent - playing even in the break!

The Spring Dance is booked for Saturday 17th May 2025, when Sarak Bazely and the Dartmoor Pixie Band will lead the dance.
