Dancing with Mr Darcy

Saturday March 28th at 1-4pm

Join us for a fun Regency Dance Workshop!

Step back in time and join us for a fun, Regency dance workshop. Suitable for complete beginners. No partner required. 

Are you a fan of Jane Austen’s novels and the elegant dances of the Regency era? Then put on your dancing shoes and step back in time to learn the graceful moves of the Regency period. No experience needed, just a willingness to have fun!

Come alone or bring a friend – all are welcome to join in the merriment. Come in costume or not – just make sure you wear shoes you can dance in. Get ready to twirl and promenade like characters from a Jane Austen novel!

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the charm of Regency dancing in this historic building. See you there!
