| We dance in St Anne's Church Hall, Park Hill, Moseley, Birmingham, West Midlands, B13 8DU Starting at 8.00, going on to 11.00. The hall is behind the church, please park in the road). We have many single members so it's not necessary to come with a partner. You don't need to be an expert (all dances are walked through first and the more experienced dancers will be happy to help you) but it does help if you know your left from your right and are reasonably fit. We're a lively group but not not as energetic as a ceilidh Do join us if you would like to try sociable folk dancing You don't need to become a member. Membership costs £2.00 p.a. (until July 2010 then it rises to £3.00) members save 50p a time We do a range of folk dances, usually English, sometimes Playford style, and some Scottish, American, Irish, International, etc. The callers are club and guest callers. The music often live, sometimes recorded. We hold three of four dances most months. Friday Folk is a club run by its members.
