A Regency dance workshop run in preparation for the Harrogate Regency Ball. The workshop covered a selection of regency dances.
Courtly Dance Workshop
Sunday 20th June 2021
This was a free workshop in which I taught a selection of courtly dances throughout history. A slow and stately saunter out of lockdown this was a perfect opportunity for dancing in a grand ball gown and tall powdered wig and was much welcome after two years of uncertainty.

St Olave's Church Hall, York
A glimpse of a fantastic workshop teaching 19th century dance. An amazing workshop with fantastic people.
An Introduction to the History of Dance: A Lecture
10th &11th June 2020
In association with the York Virtual Festival of Ideas
A whistle-stop tour of the history of dance- cramming over 1,000 years of footwork, choreography and social etiquette into just 40 minutes. Perfect for anyone who has ever wondered how the medieval peasantry let off steam; which moves Mr. Darcy was busting out on the dance floor; or what on earth a “Black Bottom Shuffle” is…
A part of the York Festival of Ideas this lecture covered the history of dance spanning the periods from the 10th century to the present day. It proved so popular that we had to put on an additional two time slots. Eventually this talk reached around 300 people and was an amazing experience for me.
