Yes, definitely. It is actually a really good night out, plus, what's more is it's actually good exercise as well!
You will be shown the moves, with music from Welsh folk band 'Jac Y Do', and by the end, you will all be completing the routine in conjunction with each other.....well, that's the plan anyway ;-)
So if you fancy a bit of fun, dancing the night away, some traditional Welsh folk music and some exercise then you need to get down to the Brangwyn Hall this Friday for the Welsh barn dance, Twmpath.
p.s. there is still time to book online via ticket source...
