Norwich Historical Dance

Using published research, based on original source material, the group has built up a performing repertoire of Mediaeval, Tudor, Eighteenth century, Regency, 19th century and Edwardian dances . They range from the court dances of the Italian Renaissance, to the pavanes and galliards of Elizabethan England to the dances that were ushered in during the Edwardian era, up to the start of the First World war. They show the development of social dancing from the turbulent seventeenth century to the fashionable Assemblies of the Regency and on into the early 20th century. We perform at a wide variety of events and venues, including National Trust properties, private parties, cultural celebrations and living history re-enactments. The group also gives workshops to local schools linking in with the National Curriculum.

Great enjoyment in the performance of a wide range of dances across the centuries....
