Mark Jones Day of Dance 2022

January’s Molly Dance extravaganza will be in a different format due to Covid 19.
Instead of travelling to venues around the Isle of Ely event will take place in Ely itself, so no coaches will be required.
The day will take the form of a series of dance spots around town, possibly with a gathering for a broom dance competition in the afternoon.  Timetable is as follows:
 
1030 : The Cutter
1200 : Riverside by The Maltings, High Street by Cafe Nero, Market Street by Costa Coffee, Market Place by War Memorial
1240 : Lunch Break
1340 & 1420 : Outside the Cathedral, High Street by Cafe Nero, Market Street by Costa Coffee, Market Place by War Memorial
1500 : Riverside by The Maltings, High Street by Cafe Nero, Market Street by Costa Coffee, Market Place by War Memorial
1600 : The Cutter
 
If you are coming to watch please do a lateral flow test before coming and give the dancers and other members of the public plenty of space. If it is crowded please wear a mask if you are able to.

Mark Jones Virtual Day of Dance

Ouse Washes Molly Dancers are proud to present our first ever Virtual Mark Jones Day of Dance 2021 on Saturday 30th January 2021. 

Watch the show live on Facebook from 11am

This event also supports Help Musicians UK.

Broom Dance competition
We have 10 entries to the broom dance competition and the celebrity judges are Simon Care, Sue Marchant and Gordon Phillips. Simon Care is the head judge and will have the casting vote if there is a tie for first place. The audience can vote for their favourite dance on a poll in a specially created Facebook group. Details of how to join the group are on OW’s Facebook page. The audience vote will count towards the final scores. We have the celebrity judges votes already and the competition can still be won by any of the competitors so it is well worth voting. Simon Care will be playing a set of tunes during the time when the audience are casting their votes. The winner of the broom dance competition will be announced after the event on OW’s Facebook page.
