English Country Dance is a traditional form of folk dance which is based on performing a series of dance figures together with the neigbouring dancers who form a "set" (usually consisting of 4 dancers). Many of these dances are structured in a way that there are two counter-movements in the dance which lead to changing sets with each round of the music, so that during the dance, everybody gets do dance with everybody else.

Historically, English Country Dances were built up from a number
of "couples", i.e. female dancers on one side of the set and male dancers on the other, but this is just a convention; the
basic dance figures are the same for all dancers and it is absolutely common in modern sets to have some women dancing in the men's position and vice versa.  Traditional English Country
Dancing does not happen in classical "dancing hold"; instead the dancers in a set are only "loosely coupled", either moving on their own or while giving a hand to their current
partner, so nobody has to fear stepping on anybody's toes :-). The basic dance figures are easy to learn and no prior dancing experience is necessary.

The idea behind this event is to teach the basic dance figures and a number of easy dances, and simply have a lot of fun together.  We will have live music, kindly provided by some of
our fellow DDs.

Please register for the event if you would like to take part, as we need to reserve a room which is large enough for all dancers. The number of participants is in principle unlimited, as long as we can get a large enough room.
