Dancing

 dancers Dancing is a broad subject whether you like an evening's headbanging or a sedate waltz. I have not included this section in Culture as there are no professional dance companies either ballet or modern based in the Borough. This conclusion has been brought about by extensive research but if you know better please let me know.

There are a number of classes for youngsters but these tend towards rap or hip-hop. Now once you're past twenty-five these get a bit hard on the old arthritis but there are still plenty to choose from.

Traditional Dancing

I don't know if they teach dancing in schools these days but at Junior School and to a lesser extent at Senior School traditional dancing was a regular part of the curriculum in my schooldays. Since I'm blessed with two left feet I haven't danced formally since then.

There are some traditional dance groups in and around Rotherham. If you are interested in trying your feet at a bit of morris dancing or clog dancing you could give one of these a go.
