Our new term got off to a flying start on Weds 15 April with live music by Lesley McCourt. We have a full and exciting programme for the months ahead, including our next Nice & Easy Dance in June and a series of Summer Socials. You will find details of term dates and events on our Diary page.
On Sunday 8 March we took part in the 2026 Day of Dance, promoted by Angela Rippon as an initiative to get people dancing to gain the health benefits of this delightful hobby. Not only is dancing good for us physically, but it provides a work-out for the brain and opportunities for social contact.
We had a wonderful afternoon with live music by Chris & Julie Dewhurst and we hope that some of the newcomers will come to future events or start attending our Wednesday class. Here’s the last dance of the afternoon!
Here is our latest issue of Cheshire Chat.

How to get in shape for Summer? Get active – dance!
The lighter nights are here, we’re looking forward to Summer holidays. What better way to shape up for the beach than joining a Scottish Country Dance class, where you are guaranteed a friendly welcome, while dancing away the calories. It’s cheaper than the gym and much more entertaining.
Are you dancing? Learn a new skill while having fun
If you want to learn more about Scottish Country Dancing, take a look at our Learning Resources section for more details – you will find links to some excellent teaching videos created by a Scottish Country Dance Club in New Zealand, where you can watch the steps and formations, as well as some dances. Instructions and videos for the dances taught in our weekly classes are also available on the Weekly Dance Log page.
What’s On
Our classes are held on Wednesday evenings at Tarporley Community Centre – a great local facility with plenty of parking and a sprung floor, ideal for dancing. You’ll find term dates and other events in our Diary – including a Day School in November, our New Year Dance and twice-yearly Nice & Easy dances. There’s something for everyone.
