Classes we offer

This is perfect for beginners and improvers. For those new to Georgettes and/or historical dance, it is recommend attending this class for the first term.
The First Season: 7:00-9:00pm – Our middle two hours focuses on learning steps and medium difficulty dances. More complicated parts of the dances will be covered in ‘The Dance Class’ section, so these two hours will be suitable for all. The expectation on attending this class is that all dancers know the basics of Regency and Georgian Country Dance.
The Nonpareil: 9:00-9:30pm – During the final half an hour of the class we learn more complicated footwork, baroque arms, minuet step and and work together on harder dances. This section is only suitable for intermediate level and above.
