English Country Dance

Circle left. Strip the willow. Ladies chain. Unsure what these phrases mean? Perhaps it’s time your body got a move on over to the Traditional Austin Area Dance Association’s weekly English country dance. Here you’ll be instructed on the basics of ye olde contra dance – such that you’ve probably seen in Bridgerton, or Bridgerton foremother Jane Austen’s many filmic adaptations. While TAADA doesn’t require you bring a partner to attend, they do ask that you pay a $5 entrance fee and refrain from puffing up with perfume. This here’s a fragrance-free event, m’lady. – James Scott
