The weekend commences with introductions and dinner on Friday and includes social dancing on Friday and Saturday evening to recorded music. Each morning there are two classes and these will include technique and the finer points of steps and formations in dances old and new. During Saturday afternoon there will be an optional workshop or you could take the opportunity to relax in the grounds of the house or explore the nearby town of Ilminster.
