Presented by the Academy of Danse Libre
The Academy of Danse Libre is one of the nation's premier vintage dance groups. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and touring around the world, we perform a variety of breathtaking pieces from the 19th and early 20th centuries in authentic period attire. Each of our dances brings a bygone era back to life, complete with the music, footwork, dress, and mannerisms of the time. Through the accurate recreation of these historical periods, we introduce our audience to a rich and evolving culture of dance.

Highlights
Step into the world of Jane Austen and Bridgerton for an afternoon of historical elegance that shall surely set every tongue in the ton a-wagging.
At 1:00pm, the Academy of Danse Libre presents a special showcase performance spanning our full historical repertoire from the Jazz Age to the 1810s.
At 3:00pm, the Hillside Club transforms into a Regency Assembly Room. Guests are invited to join our dancers on the floor for a social ball accompanied by live musicians and called by the accomplished Cassiane Mobley.
Whether you come to witness the performance or to dance the afternoon away with a favored partner, it is certain to be the “diamond” of the season.
Tickets start at $20, with all proceeds benefiting Danse Libre's mission to bring historical dance performances and educational programs to our community. Secure your invitation; such a glittering occasion shall not wait for the hesitant.
