Join me as I attempt a whistle stop tour of the history of dance- cramming over 1,000 years of footwork, choreography and social etiquette into just 30 minutes.
Perfect for anyone whose ever wondered how the medieval peasantry let off steam ; which moves Mr Darcy was busting out on the dance floor; or what on earth a “Black Bottom Shuffle” is… Experience the history of dance spanning the periods from the 10th century to present day in this fun and informative lecture. A perfect introduction to the History of Dance!

Join me for the first of my video essay series exploring the portrayal of Dance on Film. This month we’re looking at representation of Regency Dance in Austen Adaptations focusing on Pride and Prejudice 1995 and 2005 and Emma 2009 and 2020.
Pour yourself a cuppa and settle in for a video exploring the foundations of Regency Dance and its depiction in the film and TV shows we love.

Imagine- if you will- that it is 1821 and a young girl is preparing for her very first ball. Nervously she practices her steps, perfects her curtsey and checks her hair in the mirror. With just 10 minutes before the sedan chair arrives to whisk her and- of course- her chaperone away to the excitement of an evening spent in polite society, the girl uses her last few moments alone to calm her nerves. Tonight, is her chance to meet a husband and to advance in society. It all rests on this moment….
'Practicing for the Ball' is a Solo Performance by Lottie Adcock (Dance the Past) at the Early Dance Circle Festival 2019.
