Event details

Discover how people danced at the top levels of society throughout history and perfect these skills yourself as you learn a selection of period pieces.

Explore dance in the Medieval courts of Europe, Henry VIII’s Tudor court and the moves that would have impressed Queen Charlotte (as seen in Bridgerton). Find out how courtly life functioned and the vital role dance played in the political roleplay of the time. 

This is a practical workshop. Please wear suitable shoes for dancing. Cake, tea and coffee will be provided.

This event is presented by Dance the Past.
