10/25 English Country Dance
RESERVATION DESCRIPTION
An Invitation to an Evening of Historic Dance
Guests are invited to partake in an elegant evening full of delight. Amidst a flickering glow and live music of Baroque dance and American folk repertoire, the scene is set to learn Colonial English and American dances from the 18th and 19th centuries 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!
Held within the transportive atmosphere of our historic stone barn, 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.
