Saturday Teaching in June 2026

Eve will be teaching on Saturdays for most of June, with Peter teaching on Saturday 20th. Sara was going to teach but she fell and hurt her knee!!

So far this month Eve has revised Janiman Kavrakh (Syria), and taught Sapari (Israel), Cigina Krizaljka (Serbia), Alunelul de la Godenesti (Romania) and the delicate Isu Byala Nedo from Bulgaria with the 11/8 rhythm.

Planned Teaching Programme

Dalkeith Monday sessions largely feature revision of popular dances - a curated selection of new and old favourites. A feature dance is taught from time to time. Pam Williams and Jenny Currell have been preparing the Monday playlists since mid-2022

Dalkeith Saturday sessions, at the new time of 1:45, have reverted to teaching for about one hour followed by a playlist selected by the teacher and/or by Peter Fallon. Let them know if you would like to request a particular dance. Ask them to add your favourite dances
