Dear Dancing Friends,
Welcome to our new season of classes and dances in Ipswich and the surrounding areas. Our Wednesday Bredfield and Friday Nacton classes have already begun; more information about Bredfield, including lists of dances, can be found below..
We start our season of social dances a little later than usual on 23rd November, which just happens to be the 101st anniversary of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society.
Our Christmas dance follows swiftly on 7th December when we'll be dancing to the wonderful playing of Keith Smith and Anne-Laure Letour.
We end 2024 with our New Year's Eve afternoon dance, giving plenty of time for really enthusiastic dancers to join us and still have time to dance the night away elsewhere!
2025 will see the second Suffolk Day School on 7th June at Risby Village Hall near Bury St Edmunds and on the evening of 21st June, we will jointly host the second East Anglian Ball with our dancing friends from Norfolk and Cambridge. We will again be dancing to the joyful playing of Keith and Anne-Laure.
The Woodbridge Group classes at Bredfield are every Wednesday from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.

Videos of dances
Many people now use the YouTube videos to help with learning new dances, or just refreshing their memory on old ones, and these can be found via links on the Scottish Country Dance Dictionary cribs pages. However, not all dances have videos, and that applies particularly to locally devised dances such as The Saxtead Mill, Gillian's Strathspey and Jim and Margaret's Jig. So the Woodbridge class has been busy filling a few gaps. Click on the button below to see what we have achieved!
Best wishes to you all,
Libby Wragg
Chair of the Anglo-Scottish Society of Ipswich
