English Country Dance Schedule
Santa Barbara Country Dance Society

On this page:
We enjoy English Country Dancing (what's that?) just about every Wednesday evening in Santa Barbara and First Sunday afternoons in Ventura.

Now! An English Country Dance for experienced dancers usually on third Sunday afternoons.

As a special treat, we schedule one dance per year at the Carrillo Ballroom on the Sunday afternoon before Thanksgiving, followed by a festive potluck and the "every Sunday" evening contra dance.

We tend to dress casually, although we reserve the right to declare, in advance, a particular event a costumed one, when period costumes will be admired but not required.
