New
members are always welcome, but we can only accept persons under 16
years of age if accompanied by their parent. Previous
experience of Appalachian dance is not necessary (but it
helps). Experience
in other forms of dance is also useful but not a requirement.
The style of dance is energetic and requires a degree of
fitness to be effective.
New
members are welcome at any time of the year, but often autumn is
the best time to start to allow more time for tuition. The
spring and summer are usually busy preparing to dance out at
festivals. New
dancers should expect around a year of tuition to reach a standard
for dancing out at public events.
