Marlow Folk Dance Club
Marlow Folk Dance Club is a very friendly club which meets on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month from September to June. We dance from 8.00 p.m. to 10.15 p.m., with a break for refreshments. During the summer months we meet for dancing in members’ gardens, and have other events so that we keep in touch with each other.
The club was formed in 1960 and has met regularly ever since. Our dancing is best described as English Country Dancing, and we are often accompanied by live music. At other times we dance to CDs chosen by the caller. All dances are walked through before being put to music, so that even beginners can pick up the moves easily. The moves are called throughout each dance at the discretion of the caller.
New members will always be welcomed, and beginners especially will find more experienced dancers ready to dance with them. It is not necessary to come with a partner.

We are included in the Chiltern Folk Association website : www.chilternfolk.org.uk
