We teach and practice through the medium of English. Reit a Wala are a side based in Pontardawe that practice and teach through the medium of Welsh (see links)

Dwy Droed Chwith was formed in 1991 by Carol Lewis (formerly of Clocs Canton) and Meg Sykes (Cam Carlem ++) and a few others, to dance all types of clog dancing. Within the year the side had specialized in Traditional Welsh step and clog dancing.

Truro 1996

As the side developed in both size and skill so it started entering Eisteddfodau and festivals further afield.  To date the side has danced in Galicia, Ireland, Isle of Man, Cornwall, and various festivals in England.

National Eisteddfod 1995

In 1997 the side received a grant of £12,000 to purchase traditional instruments and for lessons in how to play them. We now have home grown instrumentalists including many of the children, who play Harp, Pibgyrn, Fiddle, Crwth, whistles, flute, Bombi, and Welsh bagpipes.

Llantrisant Festival 1993

With the arrival of the traditional instruments so the side moved away from doing Eisteddfod dances (see history) to doing more folk clog dances (see history). The side now do a variety of the both types of dance, dancing solo’s, duet’s trio’s and group dances, with both the adults and children sides.
