A GROUP in Wroughton is offering instruction in folk dance styles dating back to the 17th century.

The group meets on Wednesday evenings in Wroughton Infants School and caters for beginners, experienced dancers, singles and couples of all ages.

Dance styles include traditional English, American squares and older dances known as Playfords.

Organiser Gwen Poole said: "We are a friendly crowd of people who enjoy dancing, often with lots of laughter, and do not take ourselves too seriously."
