What is English Country Dancing? Find out here!

Please join us for our weekly and monthly dances, as well as our special events!

We dance at the Munson Library in Amherst, MA. All of our events feature live music.

New people are always welcome, and you don't need to bring a partner.

Special Notice re: January 21 dance:

Yes! The Pleasures of the Town dance will be held tonight! Judi Rivkin is bravely making her way here from New Jersey, and Graham Christian is graciously standing by to step in and lead our dance if conditions prevent Judi from making it past her stopover lunch with her parents.

Please drive carefully, everyone! We hope to see you tonight!

Note! A new monthly dance series is starting on Saturday, January 7th. Its goal is to emphasize the notion that the evening will be fun, not heavy into style, and a social occasion for all dancers

Calculate your dance community's green house gas emissions!

Members of the Amherst Area English country dance community have created a dance event greenhouse gas calculator as part of our effort to calculate, reduce and offset our nearly 20 tons of CO2 emissions, resulting from our travel, heating, and electricity use.

Feel free to download the calculator for your dance community's use. Once we saw our numbers, we decided collectively to increase our car pools, plant fruit trees, and purchase compact florescent light bulbs, renewable energy certificates and carbon offsets.
