18th-Century Dancing – Saturday Night

Join us for a lively evening of 18th-century dancing with live period music in the beautifully preserved Village Hall. Each dance is taught by a caller—no experience needed. Period clothing is welcome but not required. Light refreshments will be served.

For those who might like to try wearing period dress, we have found some affordable items to purchase that are similar to what men and women wore in the 18th century:
