Spring Dance, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, on 26 April

This seemed to go with a swing, with 30 dancers enjoying a programme of 18 dances ranging from more straightforward well-known dances such as EH3 7AF (the “postcode dance”) to more challenging dances like The Earl of Mansfield and Cadgers in the Canongate. I The music provided by Ian Robertson on his accordion was fantastic, with great feedback from the dance floor, making for a warm and friendly atmosphere all round. Dancers from different parts of Wales and several Branches in England intermingled really well, with some people travelling a considerable distance and making a weekend of it.

Looking ahead to next year, we’re delighted that Ian has agreed to play for us again. Provisional dates are 7 March 2026 (in Cardiff) and 25 April 2026 (in Whitland, Pembrokeshire). Further details on the website in due course.
