Market Hall Dances – Market Hall, Saxmundham – IP17 1AF
Bof!
If you have never tried French or Breton dancing before why not come along and give it a go, for most of the dances you do not require a partner and some are fairly simple to pick up. Most towns in Brittany have a fest noz in the summer often weekly where the whole community meets up, dances, socialises and has a drink or two. There will be lots of people who will show you the steps. It appeals to both young and old, if you don’t fancy dancing, come along and just enjoy the wonderful music. Bringing a slice of Brittany to Saxmundham.
