This month’s dances will be programmed, taught and prompted by world renowned guest caller Alan Winston, who, at 7:30 (immediately preceding the main dance at 8:00), will lead an introductory session for newcomers and old hands alike to learn (or refresh) basic ECD figures, including any featured in the evening’s dance program.
