    We Need Your Help Finding a New Venue for English Country Dances

    We still need a new place to hold our Tuesday English dances starting in January.   Will you help? Please download the flier, “May our non-profit rent your space?” which has details of what we need in a space. Take it with you to places you may know about. Our preference is close to public transportation in Manhattan, but we are open to looking at other sites.

    You can email us your ideas about locations for our English Dances.

    Shoe Requirement - We Need to Show Our Hosts That We're Considerate of Their Facilities

    To ensure that the floor is preserved for our dancers and for other users, please bring clean soft-soled shoes with you to change into at the dances. They should be shoes that have never been worn outside. If you can't set aside a pair of shoes just for dancing, clean the soles of your shoes thoroughly to remove all grit and dirt. High-heeled shoes are not allowed.

    New Dancers

    We always welcome new dancers, who are the future of our dance community. Here are some tips that will help you dance better. They apply to English Dances as well as contradances.
