Set in an
area of outstanding natural beauty, Ford Castle is one of the most attractive
residential centres in the country. The castle’s history is well
documented dating back to the 14th century. King James IV of Scotland
stayed at the castle before his fatal battle on Flodden Field in 1513.
The castle stands in five acres of private grounds and gardens which offer
a relaxing environment. The Cheviot Hills provide a spectacular scenic
backdrop
Ford Castle
is situated on the west side of Ford Village behind Saint Michael and
All Angels Church.
With space
to run different dance classes at the same time you will be able to try/improve
in various dance styles over the weekend. Each class lasts an hour. All
classes are organised so that you do not need to bring a partner.
- LeRoc
French Jive evolved from 50’s Rock n Roll. It is a very versatile
and popular take-it-anywhere dance style. Beginners can be dancing three
or four moves from the first lesson which creates a feeling of achievement.
It can be danced to virtually any music.
- Ballroom
dances including Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Modern Tango, and Cha Cha
Cha
- Line
dancing has evolved from Country and Western roots. Dances are now choreographed
to pop, Latin American even some classical tunes. If it’s got
a beat there’ll be a dance written for it!
- What to
wear: comfortable clothing for the classes, shoes not trainers, no stilettos
