What a year it has been! Time to celebrate your newly acquired or perfected Quadrille skills with The Regency Ball on the 14th March 2020. It is an event within Talitha MacKenzie’s Quadrille Classes program. Talitha is a teacher of Historical Dance & Dance Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. More information about the ball time, place, dress code and bookings will be available shortly.
Brighton Pavilion, an iconic monument of the Regency era
The Franco-Scottish dances so popular in Edinburgh during the Regency period are enjoying a revival. Join us in celebrating this with the end of classes ball!
Although similar to Scottish Country Dance, Quadrilles are danced as four couples in a square so that each set has its own ‘community’. Footwork is not overly complicated—the focus is on social interaction. Ballroom dancing has never been so much fun! The ball will be the place for students, who attended the classes all throughout the year to celebrate their new skills. Yet anyone who is dressed accordingly is welcome to join, watch, and even try!
