Dance Information

Zoom quickly became central to the Cheshire Branch committee's work during the coronavirus lockdown, providing a way to meet and communicate when in-person gatherings were impossible.

Like many other groups, members had to overcome the frustrations of learning a new system, but with persistence they adapted, laughed together, and eventually mastered its use. Out of this experience came a dance devised in September 2021, dedicated to the Cheshire Branch Committee, past and present, in recognition of their hard work and the success they have brought to the Branch.
