102F Folkdance (English Country Dance) 
Eight sessions 
Instructor: Dianne van der Reyden 
Mondays, 2:15—3:40, Sept. 22—Nov. 10 
Class limit: 30 
Learn English Country Dance (ECD), a favorite of George Washington and seen in Jane Austen movies and shows like Hamilton, Queen Charlotte, and Bridgerton. Partners are not required. The steps are called as in square dancing, but the movements and music are more courtly and elegant. English Country Dance is a great way to get exercise and build muscle memory, and there are a number of regional annual balls that anyone can attend.
Dianne van der Reyden has been teaching and performing English Country Dance at local community centers since retiring as director for Preservation for the Library of Congress. Her interest in this historic dance form was inspired by the dance master of the Alexandria Assembly of English Country Dance.
