English Country Dance & International Folk Dance

The English Country Dancing and International Folk Dancing communities come together twice each month for an enjoyable day of music and dancing. What makes these afternoons special is the combination: you can spend the whole afternoon with us, or drop in for just the part that calls to you.

Schedule:

International Folk Dance: 1:00 – 3:15 p.m.

English Country Dance: 3:30 – 6:00 p.m.

The International Folk Dance session, led by Mady Newfield, takes you on a musical tour of the world — circle dances, line dances, and partner dances from Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, each one taught and walked through before you’re asked to do it. Then the afternoon continues with English Country Dance, called by Mady Newfield and Tammy Bretscher, where you’ll weave through elegant formations to live or recorded music, with every figure explained before the music starts.
