| South Lincolnshire Appalachian Dance Show
| |
| Slapdash started life as part
of the Women’s Music Project at Blackfriars Arts Centre in 1993. We
perform traditional percussive clog dances from the Appalachian
mountains of the USA. Most of these dances have undergone changes to
survive in the unfamiliar landscape of the Fens. And others have
completely been made up in Pinchbeck. So what we have is
the formative stage of what will one day be a traditional
Lincolnshire dance form. The dancing is high-energy, noisy and fun.

We rehearse most Tuesday evenings from 7.45pm at St Mary's Church Hall,
Rose Lane, Pinchbeck, Spalding and new members are always welcome - you
can just turn up, but best to contact us first (see below). We have
four musicians who come along every week to play for us, they are that
desperate for a gig. Despite our feminist origins, there have
always been men in the team - everyone is welcome. Here's where
the hall is.
Book us - We are available to perform
anywhere there is a firm level surface to dance on, and it won't cost
you very much. We have public liability insurance.
