September 2016 Announcements

Dance of the Month: Our dance of the month is Hatfield House, an original 2-couple dance, by Charles Bolton.  Bolton reconstructed many English country dances, as well as devised choreographies of his own.  The entire Bolton Collection can be freely accessed through the CDSS Online Library:  http://www.cdss.org/programs/cdss-news-publications/cdss-online-library
