Learn the jubilant dances of the 1700's and 1800's as Historical Merriments solve your dilemma of being born in the wrong century!
When? Most 2nd & 4th Thursdays, check for actual dates.
Worth? $5 per person
Where? Nauvoo Kirche, 190 N Page St., Nauvoo, Ill
Wear? No special clothes are needed for the classes. Just wear your modern casual clothes and comfortable flat shoes. We only dress up for our balls and galas or when we are hired out.
What? You need not have any previous dance experience and no partner is needed. If you can walk, count and turn about, you can do these dances. Historical dances are group dances, so you aren’t left alone on the dance floor. Kimberli teaches each dance before the music is played and prompts your steps while you are dancing to the music.
Who? Anyone 14 and older, unless previous permission has been granted for younger people. You don’t need to bring a partner, although it is more enjoyable if you do.
Why? Why not?? These dances will get your blood pumping, forehead glistening, heart full of joy and your belly laughing with glee! In a world that has forgotten their manners it’s wonderful to have some old fashioned fun acting like ladies and gentlemen.
