Demonstration class 2008/9

Another year of dancing is starting up, and I am contemplating what to teach in this year's demonstration class.

Well, as with the last time I was teaching, I will be keeping details of the dances that we cover in this blog. I hope that members of the class find this useful.

Please do comment on classes to let me know what you liked or what you disliked. Additionally, if there is anything that you would like me to cover/clear up, then either speak to me or leave me a comment (or even better do both).

See you at classes
