Mendocino English Country Dance

This month’s dances will be programmed, taught and prompted by caller Lea Smith, who, at 7:30 (immediately preceding the main dance at 8:00), will lead an introductory session for newcomers and old hands alike to learn (or refresh) basic ECD figures, including any featured in the evening’s dance program. No partner required; come as you are; if you can walk, you can dance. All dances will be taught and prompted.

Normally the fourth Saturday, this dance shifted to Sunday to avoid conflicting with the closing concert of the 2025 Mendocino Music Festival.
