    This is a mask optional event.  Vaccinations and boosters are not required, but encouraged.

    The 2nd Sunday English Dance for Experienced Dancers is an opportunity to dance to the music of Fine Companions (and Friends).

    The dances will be a balance of familiar dances and unfamiliar dances.

    The callers will encourage dancers to incorporate style points such as quality of movement, timing, transitions and dancing with the music.

    We ask that dancers be comfortable dancing standard English Dance figures including:
    - Heys in various orientations
    - Regular and Double figure eights
    - Triple minor progressions
    - Dancing with couples outside of your group of 4
    - Straight and draw poussettes.

    If you are not familiar with these figures we recommend that you attend the PCDC Friday Night English Dance to become comfortable with these figures before attending the 2nd Sunday English Dance for Experienced Dancers. (Note: No street shoes permitted beyond the entrance of the Renaissance School )

  • FREE PCDC ECD Woodshed dance choreography workshops

    FREE PCDC ECD Woodshed dance choreography workshops

    Come out to the Woodshed - a community space for creativity

    Welcome!  Join us for our next workshop.   The focus of Woodshed will be narrowing a bit to primarily facilitate the development of new English Country Dance choreography. Callers present dances or choreography and ask the dancers for feedback on particular or general points.  When a dance writer comes up with a new dance, it is difficult to tell how it will work until they can see it with actual dancers moving through the figures. 

    This is a working session, and dance geeks enjoy it very much. There's a high proportion of discussion and experimenting to try things different ways.   This is a great opportunity to see works-in-progress, influence old and new dance (re)creations, or develop skills of your own in a safe supportive setting.

    We whole-heartedly invite you to be one of those dancers that helps to bring these new dances to life. We also need one or two musicians to play the tunes as we work out the moves. The musicians can have the music ahead of time in order to play through the tunes smoothly without needing to sight read on the spot. Please RSVP because it helps to know if we have enough dancers. You will of course be welcome if you just show up.

    RSVP and questions to woodshed@pcdc.fun (Ric Goldman, Augie O'Riordan, and Sara Munz)
