Berea's English Country Dances are held in the Acton Folk Center, 212 Jefferson Street, Berea, KY from 4-6 pm on the 4th Saturday of most months. 

 

Sometimes we are part of other events, such as Swing Shift, Hands Four dance weekend, or Balance the Star dance festival, where times will change.

 

We are blessed with many callers from Berea, Lexington, Frankfort, and environs, so we usually share the calling for each dance. We also are blessed with talented local musicians who provide delightful music for our dances!

 

Admission: $5 adults, $3 students.

JOIN US! We are friendly and happy to welcome beginners and all levels of dancers. No partner or special clothing required. Flat, leather soled shoes usually provide the best experience.
