English Country Dance On Sanibel n July 26, a group of English country dancers came to the Sanibel Community House for a night of live music, interest- Oing patterns, and a roomful of friendly people who love to move to music. Dancers came from Sanibel, Fort Myers, and the Orlando area. If you've never heard of English county dancing, says Gillian Carney, a member of a local group, you may have seen it and not known. "If you've watched Pride and Prejudice or seen Sense and Sensibility or Emma at the movies, you have some idea of what it is like." It has been around at least several hundred years and the music comes from old ballads, classical music, and even operas. Dancers move in a number of specific patterns, not unlike square dancing; danc- ers don't need a partner. Each dance is prompted by a caller and they always do a walk-through before they begin. Wa-Ke Hatchee Recreational Center on Summeriin Road has started English country dance classes.

In 1997, Shell Point purchased 750 acres of nearby property along both sides of Shell Point Boulevard. Planning began immediately to develop approximately 300 acres, leaving the remaining acreage as protected natural environment. The addition of the new property enabled the addition of new neighborhoods. The Woodlands began soon after the purchase. This neighborhood was com- pleted in 2005 and contained four independent residential buildings surrounding a 35,000-square-foot, two-story Commons building as well as the addition of a second Island Inn on the Gulf of assisted living facility, The Arbor. A commercial center was also built at the entrance to the property featuring a 112- room Country Inn & Suites hotel, open to the public. Shell Point already had one small motel on its property for several decades.
