Hands in star formation

Capital English Country Dancers Workshop – Teaching Dances to be included on the April 2 Program. Taught by Don Bell with recorded music.

The workshop will teach basic dance figures and preview dances that will be danced at the April 2 event. New dancers are encouraged to attend so that they can quickly improve their dancing skills and get more enjoyment from regular dances. Experienced dancers are encouraged to attend and act as ‘dance angels’ by partnering with new dancers. If you attend the workshop, you will be in a good position to better enjoy the dancing at the next Capital English Country Dance, April 2.

Doors open at 1:30. Workshop is 2:00 – 4:00 PM. The dance workshop is at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany (Albany UU), 405 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12206. Donations are requested to cover the hall rent.

-N95 or KN95 masks worn throughout the event;

We will ask you to agree to these protocols, shown in more detail in the Participant Agreement.
