Dancing

We dance with lively joy and dreamy elegance, and lots in between. If you think you can’t dance, we’d love to change your mind. Our form of dancing is a gateway to many other forms. No need to bring a partner, we provide partners when wanted. We use patterns of movement rather than fancy steps but you’re free to use fancy steps too. Do bring comfy shoes that let your feet pivot easily but won’t be so slippery that you lose control. We’re dancing together rather than just as couples. We enjoy an exciting range from contemporary to historic dances. We delight in sharing these forms of dance with new people and hope to welcome you at a dance soon.

2020 Dances 7:00-9:00
January 3, and 24
February 7, and 21
March 6,

We’re still not sure when we’ll be able to dance together again. So many months have flown by!
I have some ideas for those in our group who want to dance within their households/bubbles, please email me if you’re interested.

WHERE & WHEN

NEW DANCES FOR NOW Dancing at home, alone or not? Some from our greater dance community have written dances for such a time as this and have generously given permission to share them here. Click DANCE PANDEMIC LIST LINKS, above right for instructions. Music and other works available from CDSS.org
If your musical selections are limited, just try what you've got that may work. If you find good fits, please let me know.
For Now: ALL REGULAR DANCES ARE CANCELLED as it is only prudent to practice "social distancing" at this time.
We hope to resume in the near future and will post as soon as we are able. May you all be blessed with health, fortitude, and true comfort in these trying times.
Normally, Two dances per month, both at the lovely Second Presbyterian Church in Downtown Greenville, SC on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month.
105 River Street. Parking is free for dancers. You are welcome to park early for free, walk around the beautiful downtown, perhaps dine at one of the many local restaurants.

These dances are open to the public and are delightful opportunities for our community to enjoy the pleasure of English Country Dance together.

Warm thanks to all who work together to make this a joy! Special thanks to those on our team who help set up, bring tasty finger food, help with clean up, and those who promote the joy by sharing this website.

For more information visit our sister group EnglishCountryDanceSydney.com SAFETY: Please feel free to use your own best judgement about what you feel comfortable and safe doing. You are always free to step out or adapt any movement in the dance to make sure that you don't injure yourself, or others, and feel comfortable. We want you to have a good time in safety. Please let the caller know if you have questions or special circumstances. For example, some people get dizzy easily and avoid doing spins or turns. We offer savory and sweet finger food, and ice water. Please bring something to share if you can, and your own cup, if you can. We provide cups for those who can't. We also provide pens so you can put your name on your cup. Name tags are very helpful so we provide them but encourage you to bring your own if you have one.
