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...
