Description
Whether you dream of dancing with Darcy or waltzing with Wickham, this delightful workshop invites you to step back in time and experience the elegance of a Regency-era ballroom.
Led by Lottie, historical dance specialist from Dance the Past, you’ll learn the steps, etiquette, and social customs that defined the world of Jane Austen. From graceful waltzes to lively reels, this is your chance to explore the dances that once set hearts and fans fluttering across Georgian drawing rooms.
No previous experience is necessary—this session is perfect for both seasoned dancers and complete beginners. With expert guidance in a relaxed and friendly setting, you’ll discover the joy, rhythm, and refinement that made Regency society sparkle. Don your dancing shoes, channel your inner Elizabeth Bennet, and prepare to be thoroughly swept off your feet.
The recommended age for this event is 16+. Under 18’s must be accompanied by an over 18 ticket holder.
