Mendocino English Country Dance
Monthly Dance
This month’s dances will be programmed, taught and prompted by caller Dan Kozloff, who, at 7:30 (immediately preceding the main dance at 8:00), will lead an introductory session for newcomers and old hands alike to learn (or refresh) basic ECD figures, including any featured in the evening’s dance program. No partner required; come as you are; if you can walk, you can dance. All dances will be taught and prompted.
