Canceled – ECD March 2026
March 22 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
We’re sorry to report that this month’s program is CANCELED.
Join Maura and others for ECD at the Downeast Country Dance Festival March 28. And mark your calendar for the April 12 ECD.
English Country Dance (ECD) with glorious live music and cheerful calling by Chris Ricciotti. Join the fun on Sunday, February 22, from 2:00 – 5:00 pm at the Unitarian Universalist (UU) Church, 37 Miller St in Belfast. Admission is $15-25, and includes punch & crunch. The program begins with a very brief intro session to welcome those who are new to ECD.
Experience the delightful breadth of English dance repertoire: energetic and regal, frisky and deliberate, simple figures and slightly challenging sequences. Vive la différence!
ECD is a folk tradition similar to our local contra culture, emphasizing both participatory dancing and live music, with partners and neighbors dancing together in a set. Contemporary English dancing has gorgeously varied music and smiling people, with choreography that feels like floating (whether gliding on thermals or being propelled down a river at full spring thaw flood levels – whee!)
This program is supported in part by a community grant from the Country Dance & Song Society, cdss.org.
