Quadrilles

We recreates the dances of the 19th century. We have weekly class/practice sessions in Seagrave Leicestershire on Sundays 7-9pm £1 per session. Accompanied children welcomed We as very happy that our group encompasses a range of ages and abilities, we believe everyone should be able to enjoy dance at a level that suits the individual. We hold several balls a year and are very keen on costuming and period cookery we therefore try to make ourballs a fun experiance from many angles. Whilst we are serious about our research we like to have fun too.
