Program Description

Event Details

Kick up your heels with this folk dancing workshop. No experience or
partner necessary!

Scottish Country Dance is similar to contra but with more footwork. Based
on ancient rural dances that were dressed up by traveling French masters,
these are the jigs and reels that Jane Austen's heroines would have
enjoyed.

Who is this program for: You! This class will be perfect if you've never
danced before, if you're a pro with patience, or for anyone in the middle.
No partner needed. All folks 16+ are welcome!

Attire: Clothes you can move in! Sneakers or ghillies are great on your
feet. Dresses, kilts, shorts, or yoga pants are all great. Masks are
optional but encouraged since social distancing is not possible.

If you can walk briskly, you can dance. Dance together with your community this summer!
