The VECDS is a group of friendly people who gather once a week to dance. We dance in longways sets, circles and squares
These are "old" dances from the 18th and 19th centuries and "new" dances in the English style created in the 20th and 21st centuries
Each dance has its own music played wonderfully by our musicians, The Dancehall PlayersIt is easy to learn the dances and we always have a caller
We welcome newcomers, whether dancers or musicians. No partner or experience is required - just a desire to have fun, dance and play musicHear The Dancehall Players about the local area, also see their page for information on dance music and local ECD events.
