Events

We meet on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm until about 9.45pm at the Caldy Valley Centre, Caldy Valley Road, Chester CH3 5PR - that's by the Sainsbury's roundabout in Great Boughton.  Plenty of free parking at the venue.

Wednesday evening sessions are in two parts:

  • From 7:30pm to around 8.30pm the session is led by Christine we may learn and practice basic steps and new (to us) dances.  The dances in this part of the evening may have a full 'walk-through' so it's very good for beginners and improvers - and the more experienced will help the less experienced. This is followed by a short comfort break and any announcements (of dances, etc).
  • Please note, no refreshments are provided and you are advised to bring water with you together with a good sense of humour!
  • From 8.40pm 'til we run out of steam, we have an hour of social dancing; dances are recapped and walked through, if needed. This part of the evening is a bit more challenging, and not all dances may be suitable for beginners. We are now grading dances throughout the evening according to difficulty.

  • We also hope to hold our special dances as usual and list the dates below:

  • Our Summer dance will be held on Saturday 14 June 2025 at Guilden Sutton Village Hall commencing 7.15pm - 11pm. Ticket price £12. (Music by Ian Slater). Light supper of strawberries and cream, shortbread, tea & coffee will be provided. (See programme alongside). Rehearsal for this dance to be held at Caldy Valley Wednesday 11 June at 7.30pm.

  • Our Presidents/Christmas Dance will be held on Saturday 13 December 2025 at Guilden Sutton Village Hall commencing 7.15pm.  Ticket price £15. (Music by John Browne).
