Class and Teacher Information
Class A with Kate Gentles and Jeremy Hill
These classes are suitable for people who are familiar with the steps and
common formations. You should be able to assimilate instructions easily as
well as understand the concepts of covering and phrasing.
Kate danced as a child in Northumberland, and started attending regular
classes as a student. She has taught at various levels in Cambridge for over
25 years. She also teaches step dancing and ran a weekly Zoom step class
throughout lockdown. Kate has taught both country dancing and step
dancing at St Andrews and day schools. She particularly enjoys encouraging
people to develop both their technique and their social dancing skills
through a combination of old and new dances.
Class B with Sarah Whillis
These classes are suitable for people who have either attended a beginners’
course or have danced with a class or club for several months but would
appreciate a slower pace class where you are not expected to know all the
common formations.
Sarah started dancing as a child, and completed the first part of her
teaching certificate in 2021. Since then, she has been gaining experience
teaching at local clubs and continuing to share Scottish Country dancing
with local Guide and Brownie groups in her Youth Coordinator role.
