Historic Dance Workshop

Classical Vauxhall Festival

Mary Collins (Historic Dance Expert)
Historic Dance Workshop
Join us in March to step back in time to the Georgian and Victorian dance halls at the Classical Vauxhall festival. For those who want to learn a few new steps for the disco dance floor, this one’s for you!

Led by world-renowned historic dance expert Mary Collins, accompanied by The Vauxhall Band performing on period instruments, participants will learn about and experience the history of dance as a cultural form of expression, enjoyment, communication, social interaction and wellbeing.

Suitable for everyone aged 11+. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult (18+) with whom they will dance. Adults may come with their chosen dance partner or alone; we will find suitable dance partners for those who need one on arrival.

Participants are encouraged to wear historic costume, but this is not obligatory!


Please aim to arrive 30 minutes before the start of the workshop so that we can allocate partners and warm up before the dancing begins.
