Once again we’re on the move, in search of an affordable venue where we don’t broil. The A/C should be good here, but the “affordable” part, not so much.

As usual, beginners are welcome. If you are bringing, or know of any, first-timers, please urge them to come at 2:00 for the introductory workshop that precedes the dance. No partners are needed, so come by yourself or with friends or with family. While events at the Masonic Lodge are fully handicapped-accessible, events at the YLI are somewhat accessible to people with disabilities, but not perfectly. Ask for help within.

It’s always nice when folks bring snacks to share–please bring items that don’t require plates or utensils. Please bring your own water bottles.

The Sacramento Country Dance Society, building community through lively dances, live music, and friendly people, proudly presents:

Caller: Yvonne Couvillion

Time: 2:00-5:00 pm
Location: The Young Ladies’ Institute (YLI), 1400 27th. St., Sacramento, CA

Quite Carried Away is the home band for the English Country Dances.

The first Sunday of the month is our customary day to dance in Roseville, but the forecast is for heat and the A/C at the Masonic Lodge is not quite up to cooling the room we use, so we’re moving the dance to the YLI. In July, August, and possibly September we’ll also seek cooler quarters, but we hope to get back to the Masonic for the cooler months.

As usual, beginners are welcome. If you are bringing, or know of any, first-timers, please urge them to come at 1:30 for the introductory workshop that precedes the dance. No partners are needed, so come by yourself or with friends or with family. Events at the Masonic Lodge are handicapped-accessible, through the elevator right inside the front door. Events at the YLI are somewhat accessible to people with disabilities, but not perfectly. Ask for help within.

It’s always nice when folks bring snacks to share–please bring items that don’t require plates or utensils. Please bring your own water bottles.

Gary Sandler‘s first exposure to dance was when he learned ballroom style in college. Decades later, his son’s involvement in a youth dance program introduced him to International Folk Dance. Over the years, he’s learned a variety of dance styles and developed a particular love of English Country Dance. Gary likes helping dancers get more fun out of their dancing through safe and comfortable hand-holds, practical demonstrations, and clear direct instruction.  Gary likes to vary the dance format for English Country Dances, shifting from lines to circles to squares. Through his local International Folk Dance group’s weekly dance, Gary calls and teaches Romanian, Israeli, Balkan, and Scottish dances in addition to English Country.

English Country Dance, Roseville!

Posted on by

The Sacramento Country Dance Society, building community through lively dances, live music, and friendly people, proudly presents:

Caller: Gary Thomas
Music: Quite Carried Away
Sound: Sue Jones and David Wright
Date: Sunday, April 6th, 2025
Time: 2:00-5:00 pm
Location: Masonic Lodge, 235 Vernon St., Roseville, CA
Cost: $15 for adults; $8 for college students with ID; $5 for dancers under 18; $25 maximum for families (cash or check)

Gary Thomas says:
Dancing has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. It all started in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with a lady who traveled from park to park with her little record player and stack of records that included children’s stories and dance music. Suddenly, we were no longer children, but fierce tigers or magic elves, or pioneers dancing the Virginia Reel. I was hooked and became an avid Square Dancer and tap dancer.
Over the years, other forms of dance were added to the repertoire, and I was able to put this knowledge to good use as a choreographer for musical theatre. In 1977, on moving to Minneapolis, Minnesota, Scottish Country Dancing became the “new” craze for me, and English Country Dancing soon followed.
After moving to California, I joined the ranks of English Dance callers and, on occasion, play piano for classes. I continue to teach Scottish Country Dance, and periodically throw in Vintage Dance, which includes Regency, Victorian, and Ragtime era ballroom dancing.
“Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.”

English Country Dance in Roseville!

Posted on by

The Sacramento Country Dance Society, building community through lively dances, live music, and friendly people, proudly presents:

Caller: David Newitt
Music: Quite Carried Away
Sound: Sue Jones and David Wright
Date: Sunday, February 2nd (First Sunday)
Time: 2:00-5:00 pm
Location: Masonic Lodge, 235 Vernon St., Roseville, CA
Cost: $12 for adults; $8 for college students with ID; $5 for dancers under 18; $25 maximum for families (cash or check)

David Newitt arrived at Swarthmore College in the fall of 1976 and was shocked to discover that this pillar of higher education had a two year physical education requirement. Faced with the alternatives of being smashed to pieces on the football field and going to Folk and Square Dancing, the choice was clear. He’s been dancing ever since.

Starting with international folk dancing, he was soon dragged into the local Scottish Country Dance group, the college morris and rapper sword team, and, when it started in 1978, the Kingsessing Morris team of Philadelphia. He came to Berkeley in 1982 to work on a Ph.D.in physics and to do country and display dancing. Since the dissolution of the One Shot Morris Team due to MIBS (Morris Induced Baby Syndrome), he has concentrated on country dancing in the Bay Area, teaching and playing music for regular Scottish and English dances and calling contras and the occasional square dance.
