Details
If you’re new to English Country dance, have no worries. We offer an introduction to the moves about 20 minutes before the dance. Just let us know when you arrive. Our admission fee is sliding scale – you can pay more than the suggested prices to provide additional support to this dance series, or less if that’s what you can afford.

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 trio Bellamira and many other combinations of local dance musicians.
