Historic Dance in Yorkshire
If you would like to experience the earliest forms of documented dance, learn how you would have danced with Mr Darcy or celebrate VE day with an appropriate swing dance then Lottie can help!
What We Do
Lottie has a full line up of Workshops and Classes planned for the year. Whether you want to learn the earliest recorded dances in a Medieval Dance Workshop or test out your Regency moves in an actual Georgian State Room- Lottie has got you covered!
You can check out all the upcoming Workshops and classes on our page.
Lottie is so grateful to be involved in some fantastic events this year alongside her full programme of workshops.
In particular, Lottie was involved in the York Georgian Festival 2024 including hosting a lecture, running some workshops and leading the dancing at the very first York Georgian Ball, held at York Assembly Rooms!
You can check out all upcoming events on our page.
Private Workshops and Events
Lottie would love to contribute to your event. Lottie can (for example) teach dances, call dances and perform.
Lottie has prepared and called dances at many different events from a Fantasy Ball held in a field to a Georgian Ball at the historic York Assembly Rooms.
She has also run private workshops for birthday parties as well as corporate events. If you would like to book Lottie for a private event please get in contact.
Starting in 2025, Eboracum Early Dance is a multi period performance group that showcases historic dance in York and the surrounding area.
We cover many different periods from Medieval and Tudor to Regency and Victorian! We meet once a month to rehearse and anyone is welcome to join as long as they are happy to commit to rehearsals and the costume requirements. To find out more about joining take a look at our Performance Group Page.
Eboracum Early Dance is looking for opportunities to perform in 2025. If you think we can help at your event or site please do get in contact.
We can provide period musicians alongside a caller for your ball or event. Our musicians cover the 14th- 20th century and play music for dancing.
More info coming soon.
Lottie is dedicated to researching and sharing the history of dancing, etiquette and society in order to preserve this important piece of social history for future generations.
Lottie is sharing her research both through live talks as well as on Youtube. She aims to post a video once a month looking at the history of dance as well as dance in modern interpretations.
If you would like to book Lottie for a talk please get in contact.

About Me
Lottie has been performing in Historic Dance groups for over 15 years. Historic Dance was a hobby that turned into a passion and now a business! Lottie loves learning about social history and feels that historic dance is a great way to gain insight into the minds of our ancestors.
When she’s not dancing Lottie works as a Living History Interpreter at Murton Park and in her spare time loves playing board games, D&D and travelling whenever possible.
