Welcome to Ottawa English Country Dance Club in Canada's capital. We meet weekly in Kanata and twice a month in downtown Ottawa (downtown events suspended due to Covid).
Dances range from lively dances that would have been danced at English village celebrations years ago, the kind you might have seen at a Barn Dance, to the elegant dances enjoyed by upper classes such as those seen in Pride and Prejudice and other costume dramas.
Here are some great examples in video . Nigel Kilby late co-founder of the club would often say "If you can walk, you can dance".
