Britain's What's On Event Guide
Ripley Town Hall purchase fundraiser - Dales dancing on 14th September
Our next dance is to raise money for a CrowdFunding project to purchase Ripley Town Hall which you can read more about here www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/purchase-of-ripley-town-hall.
The tickets are £10 which will be given to the Crowdfunder project and hopefully ensure that we will continue to be able to use this wonderful hall for dances as well as the many other community events that it is used for.
In the past it has been free for children but as this is a fundraising dance we're asking for an extra £5 per family if you're bringing your children. Please let me know how many are coming.
Peter Barnard will be the caller for this dance and he has passed on a small explanation of what to expect.
Expect to dance more dances than you would normally expect at a ceilidh!
Peter has been working on unearthing the dances that were still danced in the Dales villages in the 20th century, and it seems that couple dances were as popular as the set dances. So, we will be alternating couple dances and set dances. Many of these dances were simple to learn and to dance. There will be waltzes, polkas, and named dances such as The Boston Two Step, together with local favourites such as Buttered Peas and Meeting Six. A good time for all!
