March Spring Weekend Bradford 2026
17 dancers from Bath Old Time Dancers attended the Old Time Dance Spring Weekend in Bradford. The event was held in the Midland Hotel in Bradford, an excellent hotel with a beautiful ballroom. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was very good and all the rooms were very clean and comfortable. We all enjoyed the three nights of dancing to the music of Charles Brown with three good programmes of Old Time Dancing by the leaders Bernard & Dilys, Steven & Helen and David & Joanne. The highlight of the weekend had to be the demonstration of dances by Steven Shaw and Helen Blackburn, their elegance and style was a joy to watch. They joined in with the members and had a bit of fun as well. Unfortunately the weather was not the best and the Committee arranged a relaxed social morning on the Sunday, with the help of Charles Brown who volunteered to play for us. A selection of dances was chosen, from a request list, with a mix of Old and newer Classical dances, the Bath dancers enjoyed the Beringer Blues, we will try and include it in our Bath programmes later in the year.
