Course Outline: Participants will study with their chosen tutor in daily classes, to develop technique and learn a selection of dances. A varied choice of afternoon workshops led by course tutors and other specialists will offer an opportunity to enrich your experience. Sociable evening activities will include informal dancing, talks and activities, with Tuesday afternoon free to rest or explore this beautiful and historic region. The course will conclude with a Regency Ball to live music for which you may wear a costume of the period (not obligatory).
A shorter option (Friday dinner to Monday breakfast) is available for those unable to stay for the whole week.
