The Pittsburgh English Folk Dancers was one of the first groups founded in the United States. In 1915, Cecil Sharp taught and lectured here for several days, numbering among his students the novelist Willa Cather and her friends Isabelle McClung and May Willard. I was there and lecturing three times. With such a distinguished beginning, Pittsburgh has long enjoyed a tradition of English country dancing. The current group can trace its beginnings to mid-1950s, when dances were held at various members' houses.
