Young Miscellany

Young Miscellany Folk Dance Group for girls & boys 6-17yrs. Meet on alternate Sundays at Park Hall, Leyton Rd, Harpenden AL5 2LX 10:30am-12:30pm. Currently recruiting!

No experience necessary. DM for details 😀 Young Miscellany Folk Dance Group exists to encourage our younger generation to enjoy all aspects of traditional English folk dance. The group was formed in 1992 to teach the children from our adult group, English Miscellany, dances that they could enjoy. Since then the original children have grown up (many of whom, joined the adult group), and the current

group is made up mostly of children whose parents are not members of English Miscellany, but are often actively involved in Young Miscellany's activities. The current group ages are from 7 to 20, and we are always actively encouraging new members into the group. We practice in Harpenden, Hertfordshire (UK) on average two Sunday Mornings a month from 10:30am to 12:30pm. The group is run entirely by volunteers. Over the years we have tried to cover as many aspects of English traditional folk dancing as possible.

Thank you to all the crowds who came out in their thousands to see this year's Jack in the Green festival procession through Hastings Old Town: the atmosphere was electric and we had so much fun! Thank you also to the organisers who put on such a great weekend for everyone.

Here's to keeping old traditions alive!

We're here in sunny Hastings celebrating the changing of the seasons & the start of spring with the Jack in the Green festival!

This weekend we'll be dancing all over Hastings along with multiple other Morris groups, and on Monday 4th May it is the main procession, which starts at 10am with Jack released from the Fishermen's Museum and travels up the West Hill.

Happy Bank Holiday to all, whatever you are doing!
