Hi there, bonjour and bienvenue to Les Panards Dansants. Faites comme chez vous and make yourself at home.

We meet up every month to enjoy dancing and playing music together in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Our meetings are very informal and we welcome anyone who would like to participate: musicians can practice playing traditional French dancing tunes under the guidance of experienced tutors, both beginners and experienced dancers can learn new dances accompanied by live music.

Our dances are mainly from Central France and Brittany but we occasionally have outside tutors coming to our group to teach us dances from other regions. Come along!
