English Country Dancing is a traditional form of
dance, but how to explain it? If you have seen
Pride and Prejudice or
Sense and Sensibility
or even
Emma then you have a pretty good
idea, however although the steps are the same the dress code is less formal, in fact almost
any casual dress with soft soled shoes is acceptable.
Some dance tunes are from old folk songs
others from the classics, some are light and jolly, others may
be steadier. One thing you will find is that they are all easy
to listen to and easy to dance to. The steps and moves are laid
down by the caller, you may start as a group of four, or eight,
you will move with a partner, often changing as the dance
progresses.
