A note on English country dancing, if you’ve seen a Jane Austen film, you’ve likely seen some recreation of English country dancing. It's a form of social folk dance that was extremely important to me growing up. I love it, and I’ve always wanted it at my wedding, so I’m excited to share it with you! English country dancing does not require a lot of athleticism or knowledge. The full dance is taught and prompted by a caller, making prior experience unnecessary. If you do want to give it a try before the big day, there are weekly English country dances at Glen Echo MD on wednesdays and Baltimore on Mondays.
