The VECDS is made up of
a group of people who get together 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 Dance Hall Players
It is easy to learn the dances and we always have a caller
We welcome newcomers, both dancers and musicians. No partner or experience is required - just a desire to have fun, dance and play music
VECDS is an affiliate
of CDSS,
the Country
Dance &Song Society
