Social Events

Social Events are for all dancers, no matter their skill level. Social dance is much about the people as the dancing, and these events make the "Social" a highlight!

Tuesday, December 10, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm - Historic Dance (English Country Dance) Workshop

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.
Price: This workshop is free, but a donation jar will be out during the dancing, if you feel like adding a couple of dollars.
None! Beginner and advanced dancers will find lots to love at this workshop. Read more about Historic Dance (English Country Dance).

Saturday, December 14, 7:00 pm - 11:30 pm - Salsa Dance Party

Dress festive & bring cookies to exchange with other dancers! Or come in jeans and eat other people’s cookies - it’s all good. Whether you're here for the dancing, or the cookies, or the quirky Sapphire take on Holiday music, plan for a glorious evening of light-hearted fun beginning with a Single Time Swing Lesson. Will there be a mixer mid-dance? Ho-ho-Oh yeah. Ever heard of a snowball mixer? How could we pass it up!
Join fellow dancers, young, old, experienced, and shiny new for an evening of good food, good friends, good times, great music, and incredible dancing.
No food contest back at this dance because it's all about the sharing. That's a prize worth cooking for.

Price: $14/person general ~ $8/Full Time HS or University Student ~ Free for members BD@VT
Early registration is super helpful.
While no one dances to all the music at a dance party, we suggest you be comfortable with at least a few styles. Otherwise, you might be watching more than dancing - way less fun. The pre-dance lesson begins beginner but progresses to intermediate. Read more about Salsa.
