Welcome to the home page of Hawk Green Folk Dance Club. We meet in "The Reading Room" in Hawk Green, Marple and are a sociable folk dance club offering a friendly welcome and relaxed atmosphere. Our dancing is intended to be light-hearted and fun. We are an affiliated member of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. Anyone interested in joining the club is welcome to come along on a Friday night. The club currently has around 40 members with a fairly even gender balance. Come on your own or bring a friend - there is always someone willing to help you through! Our members are always happy to help newcomers find their way, but regular attendance is recommended for your better satisfaction. We meet all year round so you can join at any time and admission is only £2.50 per evening.
In addition to the weekly Friday night club nights, the club also organises two public dances each year with visiting bands and callers. There are also dance parties in the Reading Room each Saturday when it is a bank holiday weekend, as well as a Christmas dance party and New Year's Eve dance party.
