Level 3 Classes at Swansea -- JAN 10 - MAR 20

Thursdays for 10 weeks - Barbara Taylor shares dancing and teaching experience with Intermediate / Advanced dancers.

The dances are usually not usual. They have in the recent past included 3-couple Poussettes, Weasel Reels, and turns without hands. Good humour always prevails.
