Keep on caring!
Eurosession is a welcoming community and we want everyone to feel safe.  Please stay home if you feel unwell or have tested positive for Covid-19.

About the workshop:
The waltz is the most fundamental of couple dances, and this workshop will include the basic principles of the folk waltz, and take in a couple of contrasting styles from France and Scandinavia, as well as sharing ideas as to how to work well with a partner, and how to vary the dance according to dynamic styles and tune construction.

Smooth-soled shoes that turn easily are helpful, but no need to bring a partner. Instruments are welcome for playing in the session. Music and teaching from Nicky McConkey, J2ohn Stewart, Daisy Black, and Andrew Swaine.

Donations:
We suggest a £5 cash donation for the workshop, although if you give more then we can better support our teachers and musicians with fair payment.

Zoom:
Although we will stream from Shakespeare’s again this time, you’ll need to obtain new Zoom details via our donations page.

See you soon,
