The popularity of the historical novels of Sir Walter Scott (a contemporary and favourable reviewer of Jane Austen) gave rise to costumed balls to which guests would come dressed as characters from his novels (his first in 1814 entitled ‘Waverley’) and groups of friends would try and costume to the same theme for the opening quadrille. Soon any historical dress was acceptable and Waverley balls were even being held in Australia and New Zealand.

Enjoy a smorgasbord of food, guest musical and dance performances and lots of participation. Enjoy candle-lit tables and joining-in on all the 18th century dances previewed in the daytime workshops, dances of the kind enjoyed at a Bath Assembly or Paris Opera bal public. 

Appropriate dress is Georgian, Regency/Napoleonic or formal. Calling is in English by John Gardiner-Garden. Daytime dance classes offered at http://janeaustenfestival.com/program/

Enjoy Jane Austen / Napoleonic War period dances at the grandest historic ballroom in Canberra, the capital city of Australia. The EDHDA players will join forces with the Aeolus wind trio to offer an exquisite dance experience—including some period dances set to period music by Beethoven and a reprise of last festival's hit dance for 128 dancers, ‘The Battle of Waterloo’.

Mit historischen Tänzen ins neue Jahr.
