New team - Hornbeam Molly
New Molly Team Dancers wanted to play a part in the development of the recently established Hornbeam Molly dance team. We started last October with a bunch of enthusiastic people, keen to discover more about this "Cinderella" of traditional dance. We are now seeking to expand our small (but perfectly formed) team of committed dancers. Principally we are looking for either men or women, but even if you are not sure, you may well become our ideal molly! If you are physically fit, have a sense of fun and enjoy leaping about in public spaces wed love to hear from you. Our recruiting contact is: Ray Black on 01423 502875 or email blackmale@talk21.com Although experience would be useful it is not essential; our dancing instructor has the patience of a saint and will encourage the very best out of you. Practices are held weekly in Knaresborough on Wednesdays from 8pm to 10pm. The practice venue is the Scriven Scout HQ, which is upstairs in the Knaresborough Dance Centre, 9 Castle Yard, Knaresborough. HG5 8AS To find out more about molly dancing, go to mollydancing.com
