In the summer we often have a pool party and dance in the water. Our dances are primarily social and recreational. All dances will be taught and we always have live music provided by our band, The Flatland Consort . Partners, costumes and experience are not necessary. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
Some dancers like to dress in period costume at the balls.
This can be fun and is encouraged, but is certainly not required. Our band is called The Flatland Consort . There are a wide variety of instruments in the band, from violins and piano to flutes and accordians. They do contras and squares which are the dance forms that English country dance evolved into here in America in the late 1700's and early 1800's. For some additional variety you might want to check out the International Folk Dance Society .
