The public is invited to an Afternoon Tea and English Country Dance at the Sixes Grange Hall Saturday, April 12, from 5-7:30PM. This special event will feature live music by the Summer Wind Ensemble, a professional South Coast quintet. Singles and couples can all enjoy the enchanting beauty of English Country Dancing. It’s easy to learn and a pleasure to experience. New dancers are welcome. English Country Dancing is a graceful, and very enjoyable form of casual social dance. Callers will guide you throughout the evening. Please be on time for their dance lesson at 5pm.

The talented Summer Wind Ensemble plays lovely arrangements of traditional English dance tunes. This vibrant band consists of Cynthia Stone on flute, Penny McLeod on piano, Cathleen Williams on Bassoon, Gerry Canning on guitar, and Al Rumsch on recorder. Their music is the perfect complement to these endearing English dances. If you prefer not to dance, you and your friends can relax to this lovely music with a cup of tea.

The South Coast Folk Society will be your host for this event, and all South Coast residents are encouraged to attend. Enjoy time-honored dances like “Turn of the Tide”, “Duke of Kent’s Waltz”, and “The Comical Fellow”. Comfortable, casual dress is recommended. Period dress welcome.
