English Country Dance - Third Friday

English Country Dancing is a form of social folk dancing that was started in England at least as early as the 1600s, if not earlier. Long lines of couples dance together, performing simple footwork patterns, walking steps, and twirls, following the directions of a caller. Dancing is done to music played by a live band featuring fiddles, guitars, and keyboards. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes, as this is a casual, social dance. Lesson is at 6:30, with social dancing from 7:00-9:30. If you’ve ever seen a Jane Austen movie with dancing, this is pretty close to that type of dancing. This is rally easy and fun - take a chance an try us out! Dances cost $10, or $5 for students. Pay at the venue (cash, Venmo, or PayPal).
