19th century

A total immersion in historical dance
from the 15th through 20th centuries.



Classes will cover both social and theatrical dance forms, and will draw an intersection of professional,
academic and social dancers.  In addition, the week offers a comprehensive track of the essential
dances from each era — including etiquette and deportment — for educators who wish to
teach a comprehensive course in historic dance, or those wanting a thorough introduction to a new era of historic dance.
