Regency

Verstand & Gefühl, Stolz & Vorurteil, Mansfieldpark, Emma
und die anderen Romane von Jane Austen stehen heute für die Zeit des Empire. Oft als Trivialliteratur belächelt und verkannt
sind ihre Werke herausragendende und fesselnde Zeugen einer Epoche.
Sie gehören mit zu den meistverfilmten Büchern
und lieferten den Stoff für viele weitere.
Immer stehen auch die Feste und Bälle im Mittelpunkt des Geschehens. Vor allem die Verfilmungen der BBC zeichnen sich dabei
durch die Verwendung originaler historische Tänze aus.

In 1815 on the eve of the battle of Quatre Bras the Duchess of Richmond and the ladies of society Revérence held a grand ball that would be unparalleled history. All the allied commanders, diplomats and dignitaries are present. But are the rumours true? Are the troops summoned to march at sunrise to fight against Napoleon? Before the gentlemen say their last goodbyes, the ladies seize the opportunity to whirl across the ball room floor with their husbands, lovers and brothers once more. Only God knows who will return from the battlefield alive…

On April 28, 2012 you are cordially invited to dine in the beautiful Neoclassical Rooms of the Hodshon House along the river Spaarne in Haarlem. After dinner you can join a dance evening in the Neo-Gothic Aula. If you cannot dance, do not worry as the steps will be taught on the spot. You can also drink a cup of tea and find entertainment in the various rooms. We request the pleasure of your company, well dressed in the style of 1812.

The Georgian Ball is hosted annually by Bath Minuet Company and has become a highlight of the early dance calendar.

The Guildhall in Bath continues to provide the perfect setting for this event which draws enthusiasts and practitioners of historic dance from across the UK.

A dance workshop is held on the afternoon preceding the ball for the benefit of persons wishing to attend and to assist those with perhaps less dance experience.
