Please click here to review our full COVID safety protocols. The policy will change if conditions warrant. In warm weather, windows in the hall may be open for good ventilation. We occasionally have to depart from our usual dance time, or (rarely) cancel a dance on short notice, so check web site before you come. In the prime vacation months of July and August we dance only on the first and third Sundays of the month.
Caller
Jennifer Staples
Jennifer’s early retirement led her directly to the dance floor and she hasn’t stopped to look back. She loves the elegance and diversity of English Country dancing and enjoys sharing it with others. Her goal is to help dancers be as comfortable and confident in their dancing as possible so they will need only a little of her guidance. When that goal is reached, she plans on giving them more and more dance challenges to make their feet move and their hearts swell as hers does when she herself is on the floor dancing.
Bands

Catherine’s fiddling is energizing, sensitive, and creates music with that elusive quality of danceability. She also has long experience in playing for dancing; in the early ’90’s, Catherine was a member of the Sloboda family band, Glenrose, who played for many contra and family dances. She is a member of the ECD bands Bellamira, Quicksilver, and many other combinations of local dance musicians.
