LINE dance club the Borderline Scuffers will be celebrating their 20th anniversary on Monday (27).

A celebration disco will be held on Tuesday February 28 in the Ocean Room of Weymouth Pavilion.

The club, which is run by Paul and Jo Barrow, began in 1997 at the Scutt Hall in Sutton Poyntz.

Over the years the class has been held in various locations including Preston Village Hall, Wey Valley and Holy Trinity schools, Willowbed Hall, Chickerell, St. Paul's Church Hall, Sea Cadets Centre and the Park District Community Centre.

Nowadays, the classes are held at the Pavilion Ocean Ballroom (Tuesdays 7pm), WOW Theatre Workshop in Park Street (Wednesdays 10am) and St. Aldhelm’s Church Centre (Thursdays 7.30pm).

Jo and Paul first got into line dancing by trying it out with George Biles’ Dance classes as a way of getting off the sofa and doing some exercise.

Jo said: "Paul found that he enjoyed it so much that he felt that line dance could be something he could teach!

"Much to my consternation, we embarked on this new venture. Paul does the teaching and I look after the administration and dance at the back of the crowd to support the dancers."

Over the years attendance numbers have grown and today there are many loyal founder members who are regularly dancing with them along together with a constant flow of newly recruited line dancers

Club members often spend organised weekends away together enjoying dance demonstrations, master-classes from celebrity choreographers and social dancing to popular live bands. It's a great opportunity to enjoy leisure time with friends.
