The "Dover English Country Dancers" was formed in 1979 by Winfried and Edith Mroz and Alex and Rosemary Apostolina.
Schedule of Events
The style of dance was brought by the colonists from England where it was known as "country dance". We now call it "English Country Dance" and include people of all ages, couples and singles, who enjoy music and dance in a spirit of fun and friendship. We offer a beginners introduction at 7:00pm and each dance is taught with a "walk-through" before it is danced. Newcomers are always welcome. Dancing begins at 7:30pm where dress is casual except for demonstrations and "balls" when many of us dress in eighteenth century attire. We meet on the second Saturday of most months in Ehinger Hall on the Elizabeth Murphey School campus, Dover, Delaware. Special guest callers and bands are used several times a year. Monthly dance music is provided by CDs or our own in-house band.
