English Country Dance in Walpole March 15
The Monadnock Folklore Society presents the third in its series of English Country Dances with the theme “Dance Around Monadnock.”
On March 15, from 2 to 5 p.m., the dance will be held at Hastings Parish House in Walpole, with Chris Levey teaching dances that will appeal to all, from novice to experienced dancers.
Music will be provided by Kate Barnes and Karen Axelrod playing piano, accordion, flute and guitar.
English Country Dance is a form of social dance that harkens back to the days of Jane Austen and “Pride and Prejudice”, but its roots extend further back in time. Its traditions and innovations continue right up to the present.
Hauntingly beautiful tunes, elegant yet simple steps, friendly people and beautiful surroundings combine to make an English Country Dance a pleasant and energizing experience. No special clothing is required, but comfortable clothes and shoes are recommended.
Beginners and singles are welcome and all dances are taught throughout the session. Admission is $10. For more information call (603) 876-4211 or visit www.monadnockfolk.org.
