Ballroom & Sequence with live music
Hiam holds regular 50/50 Ballroom & Sequence dances, with live music, except where indicated. Musicians are expected to play the same number of generally alternating ballroom and sequence dances, and to give equal time to both.

On Thursdays there is a Tea Dance from 2 to 4:30 p.m. with music from CDs with Amanda and Richard.
Amanda has started doing "Pre Tea Dance" walk-throughs of Sequence dances, from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. with a different dance each month.
Admission is £4.00, including tea/coffee and biscuits.
Big Band Ballroom Dances
The club also hosts occasional Big Band ballroom dances. These are indicated on the programme.
