https://www.churchinaquitaine.org/A friendly way to start the weekend! Come as you are, no need for a partner. Scottish Country Dance ranges from very easy dances to mind-challenging ones. The two hours start off with all-level teaching (aimed primarily at beginners), then move on to intermediate and advanced.
Teaching is in French, but every formation is walked through even if you don’t speak French - and many in the group will be happy to speak English.
Every Friday at 7pm from September to June. Check our website for precise dates and times and also updates on our tariffs.

A new adaptation by Graham Bushnell and Lucas Schneider of Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen. Famously adapted for the French cinema as La Ronde in 1950 and 1954, the play was deemed scandalous when it was published in 1903, and was banned until 1921 — mainly because of its sexual content, but also because it satirised the moral values of contemporary Viennese society.
Not So Merry-Go-Round is a brand-new adaptation that brings home the fact that the play is as “modern” as it was over 100 years ago for, although society may have changed, people’s desires have not.
