We started the club just over fifty years ago and a few of the original members are still dancing!

The club was formed in Erdington and, although most of the original members lived in the north east of Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Lichfield areas, some current members travel from much further afield.

We lead the Lichfield "Bower" Procession every May. Read more --> Book us to dance at your wedding, corporate or social function.Read more -->
