English Country Dance (ECD) is a form of social dance that originated in England in the late 16th century and continued to evolve through the 17th and 18th centuries. It involves groups of people dancing together in sets or lines following a series of figures or patterns called out by a caller. The dance is characterized by its lively and structured movements often accompanied by traditional folk music.

We dance every Monday (including holidays) 6-8:30 pm at United Church of Gainesville. Arrive early to sign in and join the beginners lesson. No partner or experience necessary.
