Set dancing classes are social and fun, as well as
giving a good grounding in set dancing basic moves, steps and style.
Very little equipment is needed.
To get you started, all you need is:
1. a good pair of shoes that support your feet, preferably leather
soled
2. a bottle of water
3. A good sense of humour...
