What we’re about
Some changes have been made--we are no longer meeting on Sundays--too few people were showing up to make it feasible. Most of the disruption of "First Saturday" schedule is over, except for election day in November.
Also, our long-time benefactor, Tom Kane, passed away. He was paying for this Meetup group. Lissa has paid for one more month, but the price is $45 per month and that is beyond her comfort level of expense. The group has no income, so as of July 21 this Meetup group will discontinue. Lissa sends out a Mailchimp reminder each month, so if you would like to receive the reminders, please send Lissa your email at lissabengtson@gmail.com or gneissgoods@gmail.com.
Description of what, where, when:
Have you ever seen a Jane Austen movie and longed to dance as they did in the olden days? Here's your chance! Not all English dances are slow, but they are all fun!
This event happens the First Saturday of Every Month, unless the venue is booked for something else. At a public library we are not allowed to collect money at the door (but they also do not charge us for the room.) The library has adequate parking and is located across from St. Mary's University. We'll be dancing in the meeting room on a smooth vinyl floor.
Partners are not necessary, but the more the merrier, and tennis shoes (particularly with smooth soles) are great! Bring your re-usable, close-able water bottle.
• English Dance S.A.
• Each First Saturday of the month 3-5:30 p.m.
• Memorial Branch Library, 3222 Culebra Road, 78228
**NOTE: Since this is a public library, they have a lot of things going on. For example, this is a polling place and our meet-ups will be affected by the election schedule. Here are the meeting dates for the remainder of 2025:
June 21 **This is actually 3rd Saturday because June 7 is the Election Run-off Day
July 5
August 2
September 6
October 4
November 15 **This is actually 3rd Saturday because Nov 1 is Set-up for Election Day
December 6
As the year progresses, we will need to remain flexible, of course.
