Welcome to Country Dancers of Westchester!

Country Dancers of Westchester
is devoted to promoting the beauty & fellowship of English country dancing through regular events in a friendly, safe, & supportive environment. The dances range from elegant to boisterous, with a special emphasis on the choreography of the group's co-founder, Fried de Metz Herman.

COVID-19 Update:
Our dances have been canceled through the end of 2020.
The tradition that we love will not vanish just because we must hit the pause button for a while.
Dancing together will resume when it is safe to gather.
 Meanwhile, stay well. Wash your hands.
Be kind to each other.

Check out some of these online events or videos of dancing at its finest. 


All dances are taught & accompanied by live music.
Come with or without a partner (your first visit is on us).
We are a welcoming, tax-exempt, volunteer organization.
English country dance basics are easily learned & we welcome beginners at all Thursday dances. One of our teachers is always available at 7:15 to orient new dancers. Wear comfortable, informal clothing & low-heeled, soft-soled shoes. We dance most Thursdays from September to May. (Some experience is highly desirable for our monthly dance parties & special events where teaching is limited.)
