APRIL 2nd, 2023 2:30pm–6:30pm A Springtime Tea Social with Jenny Beer! We are thrilled to welcome our wonderful guest caller, Jenny Beer, for our Springtime Tea Social! Nationally-known and world-loved Jenny Beer is a caller, dancer, and choreographer visiting us from Philadelphia, PA. This fall she will celebrate 50 years of country & folk dancing! She teaches English Country Dance regularly, Scottish Country Dancing off and on, and is currently organizing a brand-new contra dance series. Once upon a time she was privileged to serve as VP of the CDSS board, which led to visiting many dance communities across the continent. Perhaps you have already enjoyed Jenny's popular dances, including Key to the Cellar, The Minor Spaniard, Ties of Love, and The Cobbler's Hornpipe. For our Springtime Tea Social, Jenny will offer a mix of accessible dances -- calm and lively, elegant and carefree, old and new. There will be a bit of teaching and a lot of dancing!
