About Us

Club Nights

Linden Club meets every Monday from 7.30 – 9.30 pm (excluding public holidays) from the beginning of March until the first weekend in November.  We dance in Tawa Baptist Church Hall, 229 Main Rd, Tawa.  Visiting dancers are always welcome.

Beginner classes are held for the first four Monday nights in February from 7.30pm to 9.00pm. They are especially for people who have never danced before or have danced a long time ago and need a refresher.

All abilities of dancers are catered for – from beginners to very experienced dancers We run a progressive teaching programme to introduce new dancers to the steps and formations needed to put a dance together. The level of complexity is added as dancers progress. We also teach dances that appear on other Clubs social dance programmes.
