"When people discover that I take baroque dance classes, there's usually some curiosity, and also some misunderstanding about what it involves (my mother asked "Is it, y'know funny dancing?"). This page is a distillation of conversations in pubs in which I have tried to describe exactly what this uncommon hobby of mine involves.

Baroque dances are historical dances. That is, they are dances which went out of fashion long ago.

The Danserey Landshut is a group which is performing demonstrations of dances and music out of the Renaissance in historical costumes.

We are meeting regularly in the VHS Landshut to learn new dances and to work on our program. For sure, we also enjoy just having fun. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"We are a group of dancers, "The Jane Austen Dancers" who meet at Bath Trinity Hall (map here) at Monmouth Place near Queens Square on Wednesday evenings. The class begins at 8 PM, and all are welcome no matter what experience they may have. We dance primarily for pleasure but engage in performance and also narrated demonstrations. Much research has been carried out on the Regency Period by members of the group and is continuing. A costume ball is given by the dancers annually. Our musical director Sue Law is without doubt unique and vastly experienced. We are also extremely fortunate in having Valerie Webster as director of dance. " Visit website for more information.

" La Belle Danse Baroque Dance Company was founded in 1996 under the artistic direction of choreographer and dancer Daniel Gariépy. The company is devoted to bringing to life the beauty of baroque dance.

Using original 18th century sources as our starting point, we also create unique, innovative works that honour the spirit and traditions of the past while building bridges to new audiences today. Our performances have been hailed by the critics as: "stylistically flawless and lovely to behold."

"The eight dancers of La Belle Danse were perfectly in tune with the period style, and enhanced and illustrated the emotions of the music."

Combining the ethos of baroque dance with our own contemporary creativity, we seek to foster an understanding and appreciation of this unique art form. We strive to create and perform works that are accessible, enlightening and inspiring. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)
