Dancing Duo Henry and Jeannie are bringing their successful dance to Exeter Corn Exchange.
Henry and Jeannie are known as Dancing Duo and provide quality dancing with an element of fun - Ballroom, Latin and Sequence - at many West Country venues, including Exeter Corn Exchange on selected dates. They have been running social dances and dance holiday breaks for the past twelve years. The evening events are geared towards dancers who have some previous experience - open to all ages but we are mostly supported by the 40+ age group.

Cover on the door will be £5.
