Please bring your own picnic dinner, water to drink, comfortable shoes, a lawn chair, especially if you are joining us for dinner and perhaps mosquito repellent. Also bring some friends! Outdoor dancing is open to all & sundry. There is no charge for these events.
Join us for an Open House on September 17, 2025.
7-9:30 pm at Harrow United Church, 955 Mulvey Ave.
Open Houses are FREE and are the perfect place to see if English dancing is right for you. Please note that this dance form requires moderate fitness. Mental and physical agility are essential components. (Can you run up a flight or two of stairs without difficulty, hop on one foot 5 times, switch feet and 5 hops on that foot?)
Verbal directions are given for each dance and so being able to hear well is important. We do have a limited number of hearing-assist headsets. For an overview of the evening, see here.
Fun and Friendship set to music
English Country Dance is a living tradition of social folk dance with roots that go back to Elizabeth I. Village Green has been bringing English dancing to Winnipeg since 1975. We dance historic dances that were first written down in the 1650s, and dances that are written by our own members every year. We’d love for you to join us.
