<div>Hi All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m going to lead an English dance in early February. I’ve led English once or twice, and mostly stuck with The Playford Collection, and some Pat Shaw dances. I wouldn’t mind collecting a few more modern dances.</div>

<div>Please feel free to either post them to the list, or send to me directly:</div>
