    Suggested donation is $10 - $15

    NOTE: We want to protect the floor, so please be sure to bring dancing shoes or warm socks.

    The ball workshops are designed for learning the dances on the ball program and are not intended to be an introduction to English country dance. Each of these workshops will focus on different ball dances and styling tips. Familiarity with English figures and geography will be assumed at the workshops.

    If you are new to English country dance, please attend the PCDC Friday Night English Dance as often as possible prior to participating in the workshops.
