WAT Dance @ Dunsden Green

Folk and Country Dances from Great Britain, America and elsewhere from the 13th to the 21st century.
Learn the dances of Old England, Scotland and America and modern dances in the same style.
Don't, however, be too surprised  to have the occasional dance from somewhere more exotic thrown in!

The aim is to learn more about our dance heritage and the skills to match. Sessions are usually led by Howard, John & Andrew. These are very informal, fun and suitable for beginners and experienced alike. We all learn from each other and are always open to suggestions (within reason).

WAT  Dance? We take our name from Watlington House in Reading where the group started (before moving to our present location). The garden room at the back of the house was a popular venue for folk dancing in days gone by. It has, unfortunately, fallen into disrepair in recent years.
