Brush up between classes. Each walkthrough has a video, the stepsheet and a link to the track, sorted by the class we learned it in. Further down you’ll find photos and videos from our events through the year.

What a Class Actually Looks Like
Here’s a Wednesday night class at the Lysaght Institute, our Newport home until December, so you know what you’d be walking into: a big hall with a proper wooden floor, beginners and old hands dancing side by side, and the steps called out from the front.
First timers start in From Scratch at 7pm. Nobody expects you to know a thing.

Line Dancing Events Through the Year
Classes are where we learn the dances. These are the days we get to show them off. Most of them come round every year, so if you fancy joining in, have a word with Sarah in class.

Caerwent Village Show
We took the dances out onto the showground at the Caerwent Village Show: a proper village day out, with marquees round the field, a crowd in the sunshine and grass baked dry by the summer.

Display at Caldicot Castle
We’ve danced in some grand spots, and the lawn in front of Caldicot Castle is up there with the best of them. The sky was grey for this display, but you’d never know it from the dancing.

Food, music & dancing
Fork and Tune at the Cwmcarn Hotel
A line dancing night with a hot supper and live music thrown in. Rebecca sings the country classics between the dances, there’s Texan smoked chilli beef on the menu, and it honestly doesn’t matter if it’s your first time on a dance floor.

December
Christmas Party at the Lysaght
We see the year out with a Christmas party at the Lysaght Institute in Newport. Fairy lights on every table, trees round the hall and a floor that stays full all night.
