English Country Dance is a beautiful community dance genre that takes us back more than two centuries. The graceful figures are simple, most are danced at a stately pace, and emphasize the elegance of the times they reflect. The live music, similarly stylish, flows as closely with the dancer's movements today as it did in the country manors and ballrooms of 17th and 18th century England. Sharing many characteristics with the Contra Dance, its more boisterous cousin, English Country Dance is easy to learn; a caller coaches the dancers through each dance. Come to the Margery Building, 523 ½ Main Street, Grand Junction for our next English Country Dance and travel through time for a graceful and delightful evening.
