Wickham Skeith Country Dance Club
A new Country Dance Club in Wickham Skeith, near Diss, Suffolk
I have danced all my life, various forms of dance including ballet, jazz, stage, tap, clog dancing, Argentinian tango and of course country dancing. I started calling for our own band about 35 years ago while our children were young and also called at times for various other bands. I formed my own ladies north west clog team, Black Bull Clog and my husband Stephen played melodeon for Blackmore Morris for many years. I wrote some dances for the clog team and taught the dances. I enjoy teaching the dances and very much enjoy calling as I love to see people enjoying dancing and having fun.
We moved to Suffolk about 3 years ago now and I have missed dancing and calling. So when I got asked to call for a barn dance in the village I was very keen to do it. Those who attended absolutely loved it and asked when I would do it again. So that’s when I had the thought of running a country dance club myself. I have helped call at Theydon Bois Country dance club and Thaxted in the past so I knew what I was letting myself in for! I would like this club to be open to everyone of any ability and age. This is going to be informal, friendly and great fun.
