English Country Dancing is social,
community dancing, where one of the pleasures is interacting with
everyone in the room. New people are welcome any time, and you don't
need to bring a partner.

Click to play Video
Enjoy dances popular in 1650 through
dances written in 2009—by turns elegant, rowdy, romantic, and
playful—each with its own tune. Often the first thing that attracts
people is the splendid live music.

Performing
Groups
GCD’s performing groups can entertain for your
organization or community event.
