A Valentine’s Day Barn Dance

Leave a comment

Did you know there is a Valentine’s Waltz? It’s a bit staid compared with what we have in store for you this February 14th – none other than a barn dance!

The Valentine’s Day Barn Dance will take place at St George’s, Badshot Lea, on Friday, February 14th, starting at 7pm. Kris Lawrence will be the caller and take us all through our paces as we dance to the music of Dragon Scales. Don’t worry – Kris is an expert caller and always explains clearly what we have to do.

If you don’t want to dance, that is OK too. Just enjoy the atmosphere, the music and the sight of everyone else making fools of themselves, er, dancing perfectly!

Entry to the barn dance is free, though donations are appreciated, and there will be a raffle. Bring your own snacks and drinks.
