Quorn Folk Dance Club
We are based in Quorn in Leicestershire in the East Midlands and we meet weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7.30pm - 9.30pm in Quorn Village Hall. We often dance to live music, different callers come along and give instruction on the movements in each dance. The Club has 60 members and new dancers are encouraged to join in: there is no need to bring a partner as lone dancers can come along and join in as well as couples. The age range is wide and the aim of the Club is to make the evenings fun and sociable whilst dancers enjoy the music and the exercise. New dancers, experienced or inexperienced, are always made most welcome.

Nottingham Folk dance Group
Founded in 1937, the club welcomes new members (singles or couples) or visitors with an interest in dancing. Our aim is to promote the dances from the 17th. century to the present day that are generally included in the term 'Folk Dances'. These may be the 'Playford' dances, those by Pat Shaw, American style contras etc. It is at barn dances that people often first meet this type of dancing but at a club such as Nottingham Folk Dance Group the range and style of dances encountered is much wider. Regular club evenings are held, as are a number of Saturday dances throughout the year. Approximately every 2 years a period Costume Ball ("Playford Ball") is held at which dancers are encouraged to wear clothes in the style of the late 17th. to early 18th Century.

No previous experience necessary as all dances are taught before dancing and there are regular experienced dancers to help beginners through each dance if required. No need to book, just turn up. (Casual dress code and we recommend you wear comfortable, flat shoes) You don't have to dance and no partner is necessary, you can just come and enjoy the atmosphere if you want.

Run of the Mill Club
We welcome both experts and beginners. Most of us are somewhere in between. To begin with, all you need is rhythm, and to know your left from your right! We will help you around, and the caller will keep on telling all of us what to do next. Founded in 1979, the Run of the Mill Club welcomes new members (singles or couples) or visitors - anyone with an interest in dancing. Our aim is to promote the dances from the 17th. century to the present day that are generally included in the term 'Folk Dances'. These may be Traditional; Elizabethan; American "Contras" and "Squares"; or "Pat Shaw". We do many dances devised in recent years in a similar style. The Club has a full programme of club evenings and Saturday dances throughout the year. Every year in late October, a period Costume Ball is held, normally at the Cavendish Hall, by Edensor, Chatsworth - a "Playford Ball" at which dancers almost all wear clothes in the style of the 18th Century. Dancers come from many parts of England and the tickets are all taken months ahead of the event.
