You are cordially invited to an English Country Dance party! Come enjoy a delightful evening of exciting, exuberant, and beautiful dances. No partner or previous experience required!
This month's dance party will showcase dances that were done in film versions of Jane Austen's work, such as Pride & Prejudice and Emma. Ever wonder what the famous Darcy/Lizzy dance is, and how to do it? Wonder no more! :D We'll also give some behind the scenes peeks at what was historically accurate, what was not, and how current ECD differs from how it was danced in Jane's day. (Oh, and guess what? Jane's 250th birthday is coming up this December! Fun times!)
This special Regency-themed dance will also feature glorious live music by Laura Kuhlman (flute), Betsy Branch (violin), and Lisa Scott, piano!
Regency attire admired and encouraged but not required! :D
Ages 10 through adult. $25 per dancer in advance, $30 at the door if any are left. Early Bird tickets available through January 26: $20 per person. Limited to 100 dancers.
Hope to see you on the dance floor!
