Tea Dances

Social dancing one Sunday afternoon in each month at Portishead (except in December). Mixed modern, latin, and sequence dances are played.

The dances are held from 3.00 to 6.00pm with an interval for refreshments. Tea & coffee, and home-made cakes, available for sale during the interval.

At 2.30pm (half an hour before the start of the Tea Dance) we have tuition on a sequence dance by a local professional.  All are welcome to attend and there is no charge to those who are staying for the Tea Dance.  If anyone has a request for tuition on a particular dance then please let Peter Jones know.

 All dancers welcome.

See ‘What’s On’ for dates.

Competitions

Avon Dancers Club is privileged to host two major annual competitive events, which are the only such events hosted by an amateur organisation in the UK.

As such, we are always open to offers of help preparing for and running the event – be that running marks, refreshments for the judges, door admissions… whatever!  Whether you are a retired competitor, a non-competitor, or even a non-dancer, helping at a competition gets you more involved and closer to the action than being simply a spectator.
