5th Friday Advanced ECD - Maximum dancing with minimal teaching. Dancers are expected to be undaunted by figures like: double figure 8s, heys for 3, 4 or more in different configurations, triple minor longways formations, etc.
(While this is not the time to introduce friends or family to ECD, however we would love to have newcomers just one week later at the 1st Friday dances.)
