An Invitation to an Evening of Historic Dance, Revelry and Music

Guests are invited to partake in an spirited evening full of delight. Amidst live music of Baroque dance and American folk repertoire, the scene is set to learn Colonial English and American dances from the 18th century once common in the farm's founding years. Join us for a night of merriment, dance, and community—no prior experience needed; each dance will be gently guided and you need not be good at dancing!

Dance beneath a soft glow, immersed in the romance and ritual of another time. Atmospheric live harp and cello will echo against the stone walls as you are gently guided through the steps of historic dances, a tradition that stretches back hundreds of years.

Featuring the music and figures from John Playford's THE DANCING MASTER, and refreshments inspired by the period, offering all in attendance the rare pleasure of stepping back in time. With a dance card in hand, guests may record their partners throughout the evening, honoring a charming social ritual of the period.

Reserve your place for this singular evening of revelry and merriment, perfect for a gathering of friends or a romantic night shared. Most importantly, no dance experience  or partner is required, only a willingness to be swept up in the magic.

Light Ball Fare will be served.
