Chicagoland English Country Dance News

Received from Chicagoland English Country Dancers:

There will be English country dancing this coming Monday evening (exceptionally), August 27, at Fermilab's now air-conditioned Kuhn Barn, 7:30 to 10 p.m. Mady will be calling to lovely recorded music. This is a rare evening session; other dates on the schedule are the usual Sunday afternoons. At the next Fermilab dance, Sunday, September 16, we are pleased to have Old Fezziwig's Band to offer live music after the summer break.

Also coming up is the start of the season for Tom Senior's Evanston English country dance group, on Wednesday, August 29. They have a new location at the Park House in John's Park, 2101 Central Road, Glenview, IL 60025, with dancing from 6:30 to 8:45 p.m. Cost is $5 ($3 for students or under 21)
