You are invited to an English Country Dance workshop and social dance with nationally known caller and former CDSS president Bruce Hamilton. 
Mr. Hamilton uses his broad experience in many dance forms and clear teaching style to craft innovative and thoughtful classes. He has become a popular weekend and dance camp teacher because his dancers always leave with a deeper enjoyment of the dance by becoming more mindful of the music, their fellow dancers, and the motion of their own bodies. 
Lively music is once again being provided by Janet Muse and Mike Dunn, known for their recording of waltzes entitled ’Sunday in Greenwood.’ 
The Workshop is sponsored jointly by the Williamsburg Heritage Dancers and the Colonial Dance Club of Richmond, with support from Henrico County Parks and Rec. The afternoon workshop runs from 1:30-4:30 pm and the evening social dance from 6:30-9:30pm.

Join Shenandoah Valley Contra Dance at the Verona Community Center for our monthly Monday Night Contra. No experience necessary – we’ll teach you everything you need to know – and you don’t need to bring a partner (but if you want to bring a crew of people – the more the merrier!). 
A brief beginner workshop will be held at 6:45 pm and then we’ll dance from 7 pm to 9 pm. Please check our website and/or Facebook for more details about each month’s dance. 
To protect the floor at VCC, please wear soft-soled, clean, and comfortable shoes. 
Admission: Pay-what-you-will (we recommend ~$10 to help pay for the room rental and to compensate our band and caller for their time and skill) 
This is a mask-optional event. There are no vaccination requirements. As always, for the health and safety of the community, please stay home if you are displaying any symptoms of illness or have been recently exposed to someone who tested positive for an infectious disease."""
