Princeton Country Dancers Princeton Country Dancers
PCD holds regular Wednesday night dances from 8-10:30 pm in Princeton, NJ (beginners are welcome to attend the introductory workshop at 7:40). Beginners are welcome, and you do not need to bring a partner.   Traditional dances of the United States and England (usually contra dances , occasionally English country dances) are taught, with live music.   We also hold occasional 4th or 5th Saturday dances, and the weekend dances usually run 8-11 pm.
 
Dances are chiefly held at the Suzanne Patterson Center in Princeton, NJ -- but double check the schedule for each dance!
