Free lesson 7:30-8, dance 8-11
All are welcome to join us for our next Sunday Afternoon English Country Dance. English country dancing dates back to peasant dancing in the countryside of England. Later the Royals adopted the dance for their Formal Balls, which can be seen in film adaptations of Jane Austen Novels. However! We are not “Royals.” Just ordinary folks!
We dance every 2nd and 4th Sunday afternoons at Harvest House
Beginners’ Session, 3:30pm, followed by the dance. Our leader/caller teaches each dance as a walkthrough and then dances the dance to live music. No partner necessary. Wear comfortable clothes and non-marking shoes. Bring your water bottle as well as an individual snack to enjoy at the break.
Our Covid-safety policy continues to require dancers to be fully vaccinated with at least one booster. Masks are optional while dancing. Hoping that soon we can drop this policy as things quieten down.
Leaders: AnneMarie Walter and Luanne Stiles
Live Music: Cathy Arps, violin; Suzanne Hosch, flute; Atossa Kramer, piano.
Admission is free; however, we do appreciate tips for the musicians.
We are eternally grateful to The Old Farmers Ball for supporting our English Country Dance and other smaller, local traditional dances such as The Family Dance, Southern Square Dance, Waltzing.
