SUMMARY:English Country Dance
LOCATION:Avalon - Tango Studio\, 6185 Arapahoe Rd\, Boulder\, CO
DESCRIPTION:Beginner lesson at 7\; dance to live music 7:30-9:30\n\nEnglish
  Country Dance is one of the main ancestors of Contra Dance\, and is simil
 ar in many ways\; dancers follow the instructions of a caller and interact
  both with their partners and with the other dancers they encounter along 
 the way. Compared with contra\, the figures are sometimes more complex and
  varied. The pace is a bit more relaxed on average\, and many dancers enjo
 y the opportunity to move with extra elegance and grace\, but the atmosphe
 re is still sprightly\, informal\, and fun.\n\nEnglish Country Dance has d
 eep historical roots\, but it is a living dance form as well\, and we danc
 e to many modern dances as well period ones from the 17th\, 18th\, and 19t
 h centuries. Our evenings feature live music and the sprung wooden floor o
 f the Tango Studio at the Avalon in Boulder.\n\nNo partner or experience i
 s necessary\; all dances are taught. We recommend bringing a water bottle 
 and wearing comfortable\, non-marking shoes along with whatever clothing i
 s comfortable to move in. (Occasionally somebody even shows up in period c
 ostume!)\n\nSocial / Dance · Contra & Folk · Sliding scale $5–$15 · Beginn
