Details
If you’re new to English Country dance, just show up about 20 minutes before the dance and we will teach you the basic patterns (and be sure you have an experienced partner to help you learn). 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 works for you.

Barb and Laurie have played regularly for dances in Rochester and all over the North East since 2012. They really have that teamwork thing worked out.
