    You are cordially invited to an English Country Dance party! Come enjoy a delightful evening of exciting, exuberant, and beautiful dances.  No partner or previous experience required!

    This month's dance party will showcase dances that were done in film versions of Jane Austen's work, such as Pride & Prejudice and Emma.  Ever wonder what the famous Darcy/Lizzy dance is, and how to do it?  Wonder no more!  😀  We'll also give some behind the scenes peeks at what was historically accurate, what was not, and how current ECD differs from how it was danced in Jane's day.  (Oh, and guess what?  Jane's 250th birthday is coming up this December! Fun times!)

    This special Regency-themed dance will also feature glorious live music by Laura Kuhlman (flute), Betsy Branch (violin), and Lisa Scott, piano!

    Regency attire admired and encouraged but not required!  😀

    Ages 10 through adult. $25 per dancer in advance, $30 at the door if any are left.  Early Bird tickets available through January 26: $20 per person. Limited to 100 dancers.

    Hope to see you on the dance floor!

    More information is available on the Set to Music Facebook page.

    Tickets on on sale a couple of weeks prior to the event. Tickets can be purchased here.

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

    Calling: Ric Goldman
    Music: Betsy Branch, Bill Tomczak, Lisa Scott

    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 )
