Here is the set list for Ae Prideful Ball (without prejudice). Here is a youtube playlist in case you are a visual learner or can't make it to one of our two practice sessions. I can't believe we dance in just 6 weeks!
We have scheduled two practice sessions to help learn or brush up on the dances for the upcoming Ae Prideful Ball (without prejudice). If you are not familiar with English Country Dancing, it is extra important that you make time to come to these free classes. We will NOT do any teaching of figures at the ball itself, so now is the time to learn.
When: Saturday November 18 and Saturday December 2 from 1-3 Where: Paul Sawyer Public Library River Room You will also have the opportunity to pre-register while at the practice sessions.
