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.
