About
Us —
Meredith
and I are Round Dancers and Round Dance instructors. Round Dancing is
choreographed and cued ballroom dancing. We have put together
a dance handbook:
Round
Dancing — A
Figure & Styling
Manual.
There, we describe much more about what Round Dancing is, we describe
the steps and the figures that make up our round
dances, and we discuss how particular moves can be danced more
comfortably. This manual is a compilation from many teachers.

Some
recent
club programs are given below.
- Of course,we are dancing those
dances recently
learned and other current favorites. We try to
include a variety of dance rhythms.
- We like to resurrect some of the
oldies, dances
we
might have learned
years ago.
- We are programming regular Do To
Cue and View
&
Do dances. These are dances that are new to us containing mostly
standard
figures. We add a dance to our
repertoire fairly quickly, and we develop our ability to "sight
read."
- Our Full Teach will be higher
level or a less
familiar rhythm and mostly recent
choreography.
- Let us know what you'd like to do.
We are
actively
shaping the program based on your suggestions.
