New new location: Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence!

English Country Dance is often flirty, often stately, sometimes fast and furious and occasionally just silly. We always strive to keep it fun.
Jane Austen would have known many of the dances we do, but not all.

New Location & New Day!

The board has decided to try both a new location (Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence, 1263 N 1100 Road) and a new day of the week (third Saturday of each month, with occasional exceptions).

Directions: From Lawrence, head south on US-59 (Iowa St). Go two miles past 31st St. and turn right onto N. 1100 Road. Go about four-tenths of a mile and the building is on the left (1263 North 1100 Road). Get out of the car and come dance!

Parking: There is plenty of parking in the lot next to the building.

Many English Country Dances are relatively easy, but some figures require the ability to negotiate patterns without direct physical help from a partner or neighbor. Most people can learn these patterns without much difficulty -- your learning curve may seem steep at first but fellow dancers are very friendly and patient. You may soon find yourself hooked by the achingly beautiful music, the elegant movements andthe interaction with smiling people.

If you have ever visited a foreign country, you may have experienced a slight disorientation mixed with a feeling of wonder and joy. We now welcome you to a new foreign experience: English Country Dance.
