Mendocino English Country Dance

English Country Dance is fun, relatively easy, community-oriented dancing with live music.

Country dancing is all about the community dancing together. It can be simple, doesn’t have to involve intricate steps – you’re basically walking. You and a partner are dancing with another couple, then you move on to another couple. For it to be successful you need a lot of people and you’re all working together; the whole community is moving in time to music. At its best it can… be transcendental. You definitely are lifted outside yourself into a feeling of fellowship and community.

All dances are taught. No partner is required. Beginners are encouraged to participate. No special dress is required.
