Promoting traditional English and American music and dance

Palo Alto Advanced English Dance

5th Friday Advanced ECD
Advanced and Challenging ECD

Our aim is maximum dancing with minimal teaching.

Dancers are expected to be undaunted by figures like: double figure 8s, heys for 3, 4 or more in different configurations, triple minor longways formations, etc. Dancers should be able to respond to prompts without hesitation, and be responsible for their own dancing.

Some advanced dances may offer significant challenges in orientation or timing.

(This series is not the time to introduce friends or family to ECD for the first time. We would love to welcome newcomers just one week later at the 1st Friday dances.)

Upcoming Events:

Friday, January 30

St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 600 Colorado Avenue, Palo Alto.

Caller: Alan Winston, Bruce Hamilton, Cassiane Vlahos Mobley, Emily Senturia

Band: Craig Johnson, Robin Lockner, Valerie Rose

The caller intends to use positional role names.
