Wednesday 7th October 2026 - Kerry Fletcher
Put on your dancing shoes and give a very warm, welcome back, to Kerry Fletcher
Once again she will bring her wonderful enthusiasm, and engaging dance teaching to Pied à Terre. Kerry is a popular dance teacher at clubs and festivals and with community projects across the country. She is one of the organisers of the Eurobash Festival of European music and dance. Increasing accessibility and inclusion in dance is an important aspect of Kerry’s work. She is particularly keen to encourage those new to dance as she believes no one has two left feet, they just need to discover the music that moves them! Kerry will be teaching something new and revising and something familiar.
