Next Dance:
Sunday, March 28

English Country Dance is often flirty, usually stately, sometimes fast and furious and occasionally just silly. We always strive to keep it fun.

Sunday, March 28
Beginners Workshop (or style tips): 1:00 pm
Dance 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. (New time!)
Live music by the Round Robbins
Camelot II Ballroom
Admission $5.00 / $3.00 students

A special note to contra dancers:

Many English Country Dances are as easy as contras, but some figures require the ability to negotiate patterns without direct physical help from a partner or neighbor. Most contra dancers can learn these patterns without much difficulty, but you should anticipate a learning curve.

It may help to remember your first impressions of contra dance: you were willing to let someone drag you to this foreign experience. We now welcome you to a new foreign experience: English.

Some basic English figures explained.
