CINDY KELLY & ADRIAN POINTON
Cindy and Adrian are well known and well-loved dance teachers from England. Renowned for their enthusiasm and energy, they bring a sense of joy to the dance. They’ve also adapted their dance presentations very successfully to this new world of online dancing.
Cindy has been teaching Sacred Dance/Circle Dance since 1993 and Adrian has been teaching Circle Dance and Israeli Fold Dance since 1995. Adrian has learned many Israeli dances directly from their choreographers.
Teaching internationally in Morocco, Croatia and the USA, as well as closer to home in England, Wales and Scotland, their dance choices, particularly their own choreographies to contemporary Celtic music, are very popular.
