Historic Rock Ford is now offering new Social Dance events that give participants an opportunity to enjoy English Country Dance! Social Dance will be held on Sunday, April 13, June 8, and October 12, from 3:30 PM to 5 PM. A 30-minute optional orientation will be held prior to the event to review basic terms and figures. These events are designed for everyone to enjoy – no prior dance experience is necessary, and new dancers are welcome anytime!
English Country Dance is a centuries-old dance form that is still popular worldwide. Today, it is probably most recognized as the style of dance in many Jane Austen film adaptations. Programs will often include English Country Dances dating from the 17th Century to the 21st Century.
Each dance will be taught and prompted by a caller. For the April 13th event, Jenny Beer, who has been leading community dances in the Philadelphia region and around the country for many decades, will be calling.
Partners are not required, as you will change partners throughout the session, and there will be friendly people who will ask you to dance!
Please do wear clothes you can dance and move around in and flat-soled shoes that won’t stick or skid on our concrete floor.
Please also bring water to drink. Dancing will be to recorded music.
All ages welcome but recommended for ages 7 and up.
This event will be held in the Langmuir Education Room located on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn.
Ages 12 and Up - $5, Ages 12 and Under - Free, and Rock Ford Foundation Members - Free
