English Country Dance Videos
We've assembled a few videos on this page that show some of the variety of styles and formations in English Country Dancing.
Larger collections of video links can be found on the web sites of the Childgrove Country Dancers of St. Louis and the Lambertville Country Dancers (PA/NJ).
If all of these don't initially load, just refresh the page.
This compilation by the Germantown Country Dancers shows several dances, both new and old.
Dances were (are!) created to go with popular tunes of the day. If you watch this one to the end, you'll hear the dancers join in on the chorus.
Notice in this video that men are dancing with men and women are dancing with women. That's perfectly acceptable, both in ECD and in contra dance!
Think that English Country Dance is all elegant and "stuffy"? Think again.
A lively dance for only two couples.
This is elegant and flirtatious! Watch how they connect with each other while barely touching. You may have seen this one in the movie theater.
