What is English Country Dancing?
English Country Dancing is like ceilidh dancing, but more interesting. We also do Playford dances (think Pride and Prejudice!), Contra dances and American Squares.
All dances are walked through with the Caller and then called during the dance. Our callers are club members and we often have guest Callers.
Our music is usually recorded, but occasionally we have live music.
How do you learn English Country Dance?
The easiest way to learn English Country Dance is to come and dance with us at Crook. You can come on your own or with a friend. Everyone, beginner or expert, is welcome. It’s the easiest way to learn !
You’ll be welcome every Thursday 7:30pm – 9:45pm
at Crook Memorial Hall, LA8 8LG, on B5284 between Bowness & Kendal, South Lakes, Cumbria
When we have a group of new dancers we run special teaching sessions for an extra half hour before the main dance session.
