In Fine Fettle — An English Country Dance Social at Springstep 5th Fridays: February 29 and May 30, 2008 Come relax with friends and dance some old (and new) favorites! Learn traditional dances the traditional way, by watching and doing. Demonstrations and minimal calling will be provided as necessary. This dance is for experienced and beginning dancers, with an emphasis on learning by watching. If you know the dance, jump in! If you’re not sure, watch a few rounds and then jump in! Set dances will be repeated for those who want to watch one time through. So bring your friends, come and chat, dance, sit and watch, dance some more, and listen to the music! The band will delight you with traditional jigs and reels, floating waltzes, and beautiful tunes from the 17th and 18th Centuries.
