As part of Galoshans 2025 X Feral Takeover Programme
Join the Bloom Team for a taster workshop in Scottish Step Dancing. Step Dancing is a traditional style of Scottish dancing that is lively, energetic and good fun. Usually danced in hard-soled shoes, it can be done anywhere and in your own everyday clothes. The taster workshops will be led by Bloom performer Kae Sakurai who has over 15 years’ experience in running step dance group tuition and workshops. Live music will be provided by long-time collaborator Michael Smith (fiddle).
This workshop will last approximately 1 hour and is suitable for all ages and family friendly. Children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult.
