Colonial Dance: Dover English Country Dancers

The Dover English Country Dancers and The Historic Odessa Foundation Request the honor of your presence at their sixth annual Colonial Dance! Members and the public are invited to participate in learning colonial dances that were popular in the 18th Century. 

People of all ages, couples, and singles who enjoy music and dance in a spirit of fun and friendship are welcome. Each dance will be taught with a walk-through before it is danced. Dress is casual with comfortable shoes.

Caller: Ieva Ersts, Dance Mistress of the Dover English Country Dancers, and friends.

Please bring a sweet or savory dish to share!
