Historic Dance (in casual clothes)
Historic Dance (English Country Dance) Workshop
Tuesday, October 14, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join the English Country Dancers of the New River Valley Historic Dance Society as we laugh, dance, and enjoy each other's company while learning dance new to us, but old as the 13 Colonies. This is the dancing you find in Pride and Prejudice, that George Washington did on vacation, and that evolved into modern Contra and Square dancing.
Beginners, groups, singles, and families are always welcome. Every dance will be taught by being broken down into simple components and cued while dancing. If you can walk, you can dance, and we'd love to have you join the set.
Location: Sapphire Studio
Price: This workshop is free, but a donation jar will be out during the dancing, if you feel like adding a couple of dollars. .
Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.
Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can.
Prerequisite: None! Beginner and advanced dancers will find lots to love at this workshop.
