Whether you are a complete beginner, novice dancer, want to re-cap the basics or even if you are an experienced dancer who just loves any opportunity to dance you are very welcome to attend any of the UKCA Club's Monday afternoon dance sessions whether you are a UKCA member or not.
This is a small class making no demands beyond interest and a willingness to join in, so its fun to learn, and although no chance to dance is ever wasted, the pace is kept at a level everyone is comfortable with.
There is a chance to learn the steps, or how to get through without any steps!
​The program is very varied, from Old Time favourites that have entered the Ceilidh repertoire to elegant Strathspeys - unknown outside of the Scottish Country Dancing world but lovely and very satisfying to dance. Currently we are covering the programme for the St Andrew Group Ball in November - 90% of the dances are well within the scope of most beginners so why not give it a try?
What you need : - Flat shoes that will stay on your feet. Comfortable clothing. Something to drink (the bar isn't open - and anyway we recommend water!) and a willingness to enjoy yourself. 
 What we do in our dance afternoons -
​It's a 2 hour session intended to gradually build up your knowledge and confidence while enjoying dancing at an appropriate level. Steps are taught but not laboured and figures and formations are clearly explained as often as necessary - these are fun and really happy classes, and very effective, so worth giving a go!

Time - every Monday 2 pm - 4 pm 
Cost - 3 Euros. (You don't have to be a UKCA member)
Location - UKCA Chlorakas - see HERE for location
(Note that the main club door isn't open - use the 'top' door via the furthest set of steps)

Please join us for our Tuesday social dance night

Tuesday Night Dancing & Social - More about the Tuesday's 'beginners bit';  it consists of a informal teaching session in the 1/2 hour before the social dance evening. It is structured around the skill level of the dancers attending and the requirements of the following  programme so it can vary a lot... Information on the Tuesday Social Dance Night is HERE. 
Tuesday 'beginners bit' - 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm prior to general dancing. 
Location -UKCA - See location HERE
Cost - the 'beginner's bit' is free; but the following session is €2 for P3A members. It is assumed that you will stay for at least part of the general session to practice what you have learnt. The dance program includes dances suitable for every level of experience and the class is extremely welcoming of newcomers whatever their level of dance experience or expertise.
