Palo Alto ECD 5th Fridays Advanced ECD

When there are five Fridays in the month, the Palo Alto ECD series now includes an Advanced Dance.

These are dance parties for experienced dancers. Instruction will be streamlined (familiar dances will be walked-through, not carefully taught), and their programs can include some more complicated dances than are usually seen at our 1st Friday, Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Sundays ECD series. There will be only a few new or complex dances on each 5th Friday evening, however - we're aiming for minimal teaching for maximum dance time.

We expect dancers attending these sessions to be unfazed by heys in different orientations, dolphin heys, double figure 8s, Mad Robin figures, etc. They may encounter double progression dances and triple minors, or sets in different configurations. Dancers should also be able to maintain their sense of orientation within the set.

(This is not the time to bring your friends who are new to English country dancing, although we'd love to see them at other BACDS dance events.)
