Join us for Historical and English Country dancing.
Love Jane Austen, Bridgerton, The Gilded Age, and other historical movies and events? You will love Tuesday nights in Pasadena where we teach dances from history on into modern times. This dance style is alive and growing! It is an exciting world of upbeat dances to joyous tunes and also lovely slower moving dances to unexpected music that will surprise and delight.
We welcome beginners to come and experience what this world of balls and tea dances is all about and how much fun it is.
Costumes are not worn to our casual Tuesday night dances.
Come join us on the dance floor, make new friends, get a little exercise mid-week at our Tuesday night dances!
Arrive on time as we jump right into easy dancing.
We will have you up and happily “footing it” in no time at all.
PLEASE NOTE:
> Registration for our dance is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.<
> High quality masks (N95, KN95, KF94 or similar) are REQUIRED. < > Vaccination is not required for these events. <
