Sandbach Day of Dance 2024
1st June 2024

Due to availability of dancers we had 5 exclusive dancers and 3 music men (one of which could also dance if required)
So most of our dances were done with 4 dancers

We danced 21 dances spread over 6 dance spots, here is a selection of pictures from some of te dances during the day
