Keith Wood - Dance Workshops
Throughout the year I run a monthly series of dance workshops at Pennant Hills.
The style of dance varies between Contras, dances that I've written, and English Country dances.
Although generally fairly easy, some of my dances are quite complex and are
better suited to more experienced dancers.
The workshops are held on Sunday afternoons between 2 and 5pm in the Main Hall at the
Pennant Hills Community Centre, 70 Yarrara Rd, Pennant Hills, NSW.
The cost is $5 and there is water, tea, and coffee available.
Afterwards we usually go down to the Hotel Pennant Hills
for dinner together.
The schedule for 2017 is:
