Baltimore Folk Music Society (BFMS) English Country Dance

The program is doing English Country dancing to a live band and with instructions by a caller. There is usually a set of  8 dances, a break and then another 6 dances, concluding with a waltz. During the break snacks are provided. All activities are open to the public and are enjoyed by people of all ages. The caller provides instructions for each dance while the dancers walk through the steps. There is no need to come with a partner since people will mix around and dance with a variety of people throughout the evening. We encourage new dancers to dance with experienced dancers. The live music brings a wonderful opportunity to watch music being made and to move with the music. People who want to sit and enjoy the music can do so from one of the many chairs set up along the sides of the hall. People are encouraged to wear soft soled shoes and comfortable clothing, and bring along a water bottle, that can be refilled if needed.
