Our classes take place at Springfield Park Baptist Church Hall in Springfield Park Road, Chelmsford, between 8:00 and 10:00pm on Monday evenings. Please see the interactive map below for details of our exact location.

The classes are taught by Barbara Armstrong (an RSCDS qualified instructor), and they generally include basic step and formation practice as well as social dancing. The dances we do each week are usually selected from the programmes for forthcoming social dances in the local area. Anyone is welcome to attend the classes, regardless of age or experience. So don’t worry if you’ve never danced before, because there are plenty of people who will be able to help you! Since September 2009 we have been running separate sessions for beginners, which run parallel to the main class for the first hour, so that our newer dancers have a chance to learn some of the basic steps and formations. These sessions are taught by David Ambrose and/or Esther Wilkinson, and they merge with the main class during the second hour.

We will be meeting on the following Monday evenings during the 2011/2012 dancing year:

September 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
