We have had a great response with members old and new joining us since we restarted back in June. The thought of lock-down being lifted this month, will hopefully give others a little more confidence to return to normal and enjoy life to the full again. Still following the guidance of hands, face and space, we would like this to be kept in mind in order to keep everyone safe and well moving forward as lockdown eases. Bookings are still being taken until we know more of what the new rules will be, so please do get in touch and let me if you would like to come along.

We have enjoyed our virtual classes very much, hopefully, you did too, keeping you amused and connected with your line dance friends during these tough times.
