Tea Dances, Tuesday Evenings

Do come along to join us – beginners are welcome as well as experienced dancers.

Until Christmas you can join us for fun and social dancing on Tuesday evenings (19:45 – 21:45) in Chilton Village Hall. After Christmas we are skipping dancing on late and dark evenings but will continue dancing every (except December) third Wednesday afternoon and will also be dancing on occasional Sunday afternoons (both 1400-1630).
