In 2010, for the first time in the 34 years of running historical dance schools, the Summer School will be open to instrumental musicians who would like to play for dancing. The course will follow the historical development in dance, from the earliest medieval references to the Twentieth Century. Highlights will include dances connected to the local area, including Knaresborough Castle, Ripley Castle, Castle Howard, The Victorian Spa and Pump Rooms, and Agatha Christie.
