The Round - CU English Country Dance Club

Ducdame,Ducdame,Ducdame

Cambridge University English Country Dance Club

English Country Dancing offers a wide variety of dances, from lively and energetic to smooth and graceful, set to wonderful tunes from a wide range of composers from Trad through Purcell and Handel and Mozart to many modern composers writing specifically for dancing. Some dances are easy, others are more of a challenge, but they are all taught and called, so you don’t need to have any previous experience of the form. We also dance some American contras and squares. All are welcome to join us; you don’t need to come with a partner, and we usually change partners for each dance anyway. Note that this is social dancing, quite different from display styles such as Morris.

The Weekly Round normally meets every Thursday in Full Term, 8.00–10.00 p.m., in the Wesley Church Hall, King Street.

Your first two visits to the weekly Round are free, and you get a free session whenever you bring a friend who hasn’t been before.

The last weekly meeting of the Lent Term 2025 was on March 20th. The first meeting of the Easter Term 2025 will be on Thursday, May 1st.
