"Regency ReJigged" at Dunham Massey
| We
are a group of dancers based in the North West of England. We
perform dances popular from the 17th to early 19th centuries in Regency
style costume, accompanied by our musicians. We invite you to step back in time to the early 1800s of Regency England when dancing was an integral part of social life. The style of dance was both elegant, graceful and genteel and it played a crucial role in courtship. As the great Jane Austen herself once said "to be fond of dancing is a certain step towards falling in love!" At that time dancing was very central to everyone's life - indeed accomplished dancing was linked with high achievement, grace, and harmonious thinking! Some pictures of previous events can be seen in the gallery and future events in our diary. Regency ReJigged meet to practise on the second Sunday of each month. New members to the group are always welcome. If you have some experience of dancing or playing music and would like to perform in public, do please contact us via one of the email addresses below. Don't be put off because you don't have a Regency style costume. Individuals welcome - you don't need to bring a partner. We are available for festivals, private functions, weddings, stately homes, country houses, etc. Further information of interest to event organisers is available in Word or PDF form. We can be contacted by email to either |
