Dances will include the lively country dances of the era plus the Boulanger, Sir Roger de Coverley, and perhaps some of those scandalous new waltzes! No partner is needed and all dances and steps will be taught. All levels of experience are welcome!

"...he seemed quite struck with Jane as she was going down the
dance. So he inquired who she was, and got
introduced, and asked her
for the two next. Then, the two third he danced with Miss King, and
the two fourth
with Maria Lucas, and the two fifth with Jane again,
and the two sixth with Lizzy, and the Boulanger..."
