We like dancing in a very laidback style - we like to enjoy ourselves and if it goes right it feels great and if it goes wrong, then we all laugh and smile. If you come and see us, then ask us and we'll get you up dancing with us. We are delighted that we have been joined by not only the able bodied, but also the blind, deaf, wheelchair bound (including some in electric chairs, which is much harder!), a person on crutches, another with one arm (who did zen clapping), some with learning difficulties, one unable to walk let alone dance, a group of cyclists who zig-zagged through the heys, plus pre-school children up through primary school, cubs, scouts, brownies, and guides, to senior citizens.... come and join us.

We dance in two main styles - Cotswold and Border. Within the Cotswold dances, we dance those from Stanton Harcourt, Adderbury and Bampton, with a few extras that sneak in. The Border dances are more wild and vigorous and we enjoy a lot of these mainly sticking dances. And we like Lichfield as well. But we are gradually adding dances invented ourselves as part of the living tradition - these sometimes follow the above styles, and are occasionally completely original inventions.

 

Below is a list of dances that we either currently dance or have danced in past years and we have included the "dots" - for the tune plus a version in Noteworthy Composer. If you don't know this, it is a super music program and look on the web at Noteworthy Composer. The files are zipped to get the browser to download them, unzip them to get the ".nwc" and allow Noteworthy to work

The music is either midi () or a few snatches of our super band where we have recordings - these will take longer to download and are marked with red notes(). Just click on the icons.
