Dawnsio Gwerin/Folk Dancing Welsh Folk dancing began in the 18th Century. Dechreuodd dawnsio gwerin yn y ddeunawfed ganrif. Instructions for a traditional dance Jac y Do This dance is a long ways set for four or five couples. Partners stand facing each other. 1. Partners all walk towards each other (4 steps) and then back (4 steps). 2. Walk towards partner and change sides passing right shoulders. (8 steps) 3. Repeat 1 and 2 back to original places. 4. Couple one at the head of the set slip step to the bottom of the set and back. 5.

During the summer we join other schools in Caerphilly Castle to take part in a dance festival. Yn ystod yr Haf rydym yn ymuno gydag ysgolion eraill i gymryd rhan mewn twmpath. The Urdd National Eisteddfod promotes Welsh dancing and attracts thousands of young people in dancing competitions every year. Mae Eisteddfod yr Urdd yn hybu dawnsio gwerin ac yn denu miloedd o bobl ifanc i gystadlu pob blwyddyn.
