The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association sponsors English Country Dances on the third Monday of every month, from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm. The May 21 dance will feature one of the country's most popular English dance leaders, Bruce Hamilton, a renowned caller from the Bay area who has taught English and Scottish country dancing all over North America and abroad. Live music for this dance will be provided by an East coast band, Waverley Station, with David Knight on fiddle and Liz Donaldson on piano. Both have performed extensively on the East coast and have been featured on many recordings. All are welcome to come alone or with friends to this festive dance. No partner needed; all dances are taught and called. Dress can be casual or fancy. Suggested donation is $10 for adults, $5 for those under 18 and over 65. Proceeds benefit the Association's Scholarship Trust, which annually provides scholarships to graduating OPRF seniors. For more information, call the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association, 178 Forest Avenue, Oak Park, 386-2729, or go to www.19thcenturycharity.org.
