About

Learn the basics of English Country dancing at our Culture Days Open House! English Country Dance is a form of social folk dance, originating in Renaissance England. It is the precursor of several other folk dances, including contra and square dance.

The dancing is friendly and the atmosphere is informal. If you’ve seen a Jane Austen film, you’ve seen English Country Dancing. Wonderful new dances and tunes are being written all the time; this includes the work of some of our talented instructors!

Doors open at 7:00pm, dancing starts at 7:30pm

Live music provided by the Fine Companions

Please note that this dance form requires moderate fitness. Mental and physical agility are essential components.

No partner needed. Please wear comfortable, clean shoes and wear clothes you're comfortable moving in.
