Details

“Country dances” - often referred to as “Playford” dances after the first publisher of instruction books - were popular from the 17th to early 19th century as a sociable and lighthearted relief from the formal dances of court or the precise stepping at a Regency Ball.

Nigel Close will lead a dance workshop, to teach you the basics then, after a break, a chance to enjoy some of the dances that the young Jane Austen loved. The dancing session will include light refreshments at the interval.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances the live music advertised in the programme is not able to go ahead and we will be reverting this year to the arrangement of recorded music as in previous dances.

Timings:6.30 - 7.30pm Workshop; 8pm - 8.30pm interval/buffet; 8.00pm - 10.30pm Dancing

Price includes light buffet
