Camden Club Dance the Day Away!

Camden Lunch Club's adventure into the world of English Morris and Folk dancing was truly a memorable experience.

Last Friday's private professional Barn dance session in sunny Finchley was an unforgettable journey into the heart of traditional English dance culture.

The members donned bells and sticks, strutted in pairs and waltzed around the room with their partners. The group got to try out some new fabulous footwork, experience the history of English folk dancing, and even learn a little about how to play an accordion like a pro!

But perhaps the crowning achievement of the day was conquering the notoriously tricky 'stripping the willow' dance. This dance involves spinning and changing partners with every rotation, requiring not only coordination but also a great sense of togetherness. Laughs and bells rang throughout the room, and everyone left abuzz with excitement and energy!

We can't wait to try it all again!
