You can dance with us now.

We have regular dances and classes, in modern dress-

English Country Dance is alive and flourishing in South Carolina. The Carolina English Country Dancers meet at Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church, 2519 Woodruff Road, Simpsonville, South Carolina at least twice a month to enjoy the fine art of moving to music. The pace varies from slow and elegant to lively and vigorous. The variety of dances and of people make this a very pleasant form of exercise.  The church is about a mile east of the intersection of Route 14 and Woodruff Road. Please park towards the back. The entrance is at the covered portico. The building is air-conditioned and we’re very grateful for that!

We welcome new dancers. The dances are taught and called. You don’t need to bring a partner. Do bring comfortable shoes! An extra pair often helps if your feet begin to hurt.

What to wear? Something cool, it can get warm when you dance. Attendees wear relatively casual clothes to our regular dances. Flowing skirts can make you feel more graceful.

Classes- we often have beginners at our regular dances and we all continue to learn as the dances are taught at our regular dances but we can arrange special classes if that’s what you want.

Contact Margaret for details.
