FOLK DANCING IN MID-DERBYSHIRE
We welcome both experts and beginners. Most of us are somewhere in between. To begin with, all you need is rhythm, and to know your left from your right! We will help you around, and the caller will keep on telling all of us what to do next.
Founded in 1980, the Run of the Mill Club welcomes new members (singles or couples) or visitors - anyone with an interest in dancing. Our aim is to promote the dances from the 17th. century to the present day that are generally included in the term 'Folk Dances'. These may be Traditional; Elizabethan; American "Contras" and "Squares"; or "Pat Shaw". We do many dances devised in recent years in a similar style.
The Club has a full programme of club evenings and Saturday dances throughout the year. Every year in late October, a period Costume Ball is held, normally at the Cavendish Hall, Edensor, Chatsworth - a "Playford Ball" at which dancers almost all wear clothes in the style of the 18th Century. Dancers come from many parts of England and the tickets are all taken months ahead of the event.
We meet on the second, fourth (& fifth if any) Wednesday of every month from September through to July inclusive at 7.30pm at the Florence Nightingale Hall, Yew Tree Hill, Holloway. The hall is situated by a green triangle, just below the Yew Tree Inn, on the minor road linking Cromford (A6) with the Tram Museum at Crich (B5035). There is a LOCATION MAP near the foot of this web site showing exactly where the hall is. If you like any kind of social dancing please come and join us.
There is a nominal charge of £1 (£1.70 for non-members) per person per evening, which includes tea, coffee and biscuits.
To join us just turn up at a club night.
