Boughton Monchelsea Morris Dancers
We are a Morris music & dance Side who enjoy what we do & have a great deal of fun & laughter. We perform out at various sites with different guests everyThursday evening & some weekends during the Spring & Summer months; and spend every Thursday evening throughout the Autumn & Winter months practising for an hour in St.Andrew’s Church Hall, Tonbridge Road, Barming, Maidstone, ME16 9AN. We dance out within the Maidstone area on Thursdays & venture slightly further afield on the occasional weekend.
We dance as a mixed Side of men & women dancing together & welcome everyone to join us. No experience is required, just be prepared to have fun. We do share a lot of laughter every week. If you think you may well enjoy our wonderful hobby, Contact Andrea or Trevor on 01795 843331 or email Andrea at boughtonmorris@uwclub.net
Dancing is fun, it provides the benefits of exercise with a social life. Stretch both your body and mind plus gain new friends whilst feeling good and enjoying yourself. Come along to make new friends, bring a friend if you wish and share our laughter.
