Rediscover the dance treasures of Old Vienna as we feature dances that were popular during the Biedermeier period. This period -- from 1815 to 1848 -- was an age of elegant simplicity. In social dance this was characterized by the combination of simple figures of the dances with elegant style…graceful movement with joyous abandon.
      Dances will include early 19th century set dances, the First Set Quadrille, early Viennese waltz and waltz country dance, and European dances such as the Polonaise, csardas, and mazurka. Music will be provided by Jackson's Quadrille Band with Debbie Jackson and friends.
      Early or mid-19th century attire is encouraged. All levels of dancers are welcome. Preregistration is preferred.
