Fun, accessible French and European traditional dances.  No experience or partner necessary.

This month’s dance features special guests: 

Nicholas Williams & Family Band

Guillaume Sparrow-Pepin

Dance instruction by Rachel Bell. Suggested donation sliding scale $12-$25

Dances range from beautiful to raucous. Even if you’ve never tried anything like this before, come on over! Feel free to listen and watch from the sidelines or jump in. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, and the crowd has a reputation for being welcoming, eager  to draw newcomers into the fun. We will continue to offer variations and new dances to keep the experienced dancers engaged!

Share our video with friends to whet their appetite!
