Kath Waters delighted us all with a splendid series of dance tutorials ranging from early Playford to courtly Italian 17th century dances, working us hard starting with excellent warm up exercises before each session.

The course ran from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th April 2024 in the  peaceful and expansive campus of the University of East Anglia with its unique Sainsbury Centre art museum. The course covered Italian Renaissance and English Playford dances. Saturday afternoon was reserved as a time to explore locally or just to rest up a little.
