SUMMARY:Sebastopol Advanced English Country Dance
DESCRIPTION:Special Advanced English Country Dance\nCaller: Bruce Hamilton\nBand: Bill Jensen (piano)\, Susan Jensen (violin)\, Maggie Moore (flute) \nOur 5th Sunday series is for experienced dancers\, so instruction will be streamlined and the dances will be more complex than at our 1st and 3rd Sunday dances.  We expect dancers attending these sessions to be completely comfortable with heys for 3 and 4\, dolphin heys\, figure 8s\, and triple minor progression.  They should also be able to maintain their sense of orientation within the set.  This is not the time to bring your friends who are new to English country dancing\, though we’d love to see them at the 1st and 3rd Sundays. \nPlease note: Our dances are now mask-optional. \n— There is a limit of 48 attendees\, and preregistration is encouraged (though not required). To preregister\, please email Tom at tspittler@gmail.com. \n— If you are not feeling well the day of the dance please stay home to protect yourself and others. \n— Please avoid wearing any scented products. \n— Please mention the dance to friends! \nTom Spittler and Kathy Woeltjen\, dance managers\nKalia Kliban\, series programmer \n
