See Blandford Linedance on Facebook for more info.
We run 3 beginner classes each week, except for Easter Monday and the two weeks of Christmas Day and New Year's Day when the School is closed.
Monday from 2:30pm until 3:30pm at Winterborne Whitechurch Village Hall on behalf of Milton Abbas Surgery.
Entry is free but donations are welcome to cover costs. Most give us ₤2 but I stress that that is purely optional as it's NHS funded and we're catching up with the slow starting period.
Our Tuesday and Wednesday classes are to raise money for Langton Long Church.
Tuesday from 7:30pm until 8:30pm at Knees up which is behind the Original Factory Shop in East Street. Entry is ₤5
Wednesday from 7:30pm until 8:30pm at Blandford School in the Drama Studios upstairs in the Reception building.
You often have to use the disabled door to the left of the revolving doors. Entry is ₤5
