This group is for anyone who enjoys the rich variety of music and dance from around the world — whether as a participant or spectator. Members share details of upcoming concerts, performances, and dance events, and we see who would like to attend together. Examples include events such as the London Bulgarian Choir in concert at Southwark Cathedral or Balkan dancing with live musicians at Cecil Sharp House. The group is open to all u3a members, we have no limits on numbers, no prior experience needed, just enthusiasm for global rhythms and movement!
