Childgrove English Country Dance Schedule

3dancers

Childgrove English Country Dances are usually (but not always - check below!) on Second and Fourth Fridays

English Country Dancing is an easy, fun, social dance done to live classical music. Although it has a long history, it is a very alive tradition, with new dances and music being written all the time.

We will be having English Country dances with live music on second and fourth Fridays from 7:00-9:30pm with the occasional fancy dress ball (see the schedule) thrown in.  Everyone is welcome; all dances are taught and prompted; no partner is required; come alone or bring a friend. First-timers are encouraged to come early for the simpler dances that are taught earlier in the evening.

Wear comfortable clothes and comfortable (flat) shoes. We normally wear casual clothing at our regular dances, and dress up for the balls.

High Tea

Once a year on Labor Day Weekend we held an English Country Dance Weekend called "HIGH TEA" - we bring in a national-level caller and band, and dance Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned, and we'll let you know who's playing and calling!
