Susan's Regency era workshops
Loosely speaking, the period from 1800 to 1825
Susan teaches a regular monthly
Regency dance class
covering early 19th century waltz, quadrille, Scotch reel, and country dances
for The Elegant Arts Society
in New York City!
Every year Susan teaches and leads the dancing at the Annual
Assembly
held by
The Elegant Arts Society
in New Haven, Connecticut. This year's date: October 20, 2007.
Mr. Wilson's Waltz (Regency Waltz)
The four parts of Thomas Wilson's 1815 French waltz sequence: the
march, the slow waltz, the sauteuse, and the jete. The music shifts
from 3/4 to 2/4 and 6/8, and the last two parts are energetic
leaping waltzes.
French Quadrilles
Five figures of the original "square dance" taught with the style and
French steps of the early 19th century.
The Royal Scotch Quadrilles
Five lively and complex figures of an 1824 quadrille designed specifically
to incorporate reels (heys) and Scottish footwork.
More classes coming soon!
