Two dance workshops to hone your skills before the Grand Regency Ball in the evening, or just enjoy more dancing.
Saturday, 29th November, 2025
Regency Dance Workshop 11:15 for 11:30am-1:30pm:
With live period music and Dancing Master David Wanless. Learn or refresh the basics of Regency dancing for the evening ball, or just have fun with some easy Regency dances. No partner or dancing experience required. Note that you are welcome to attend the evening ball whether or not you have attended this workshop. BYO water bottle.
St James Church Hall, 462 Elizabeth St (off Rupert Ave, enter behind church) $12/$10
Intermediate Regency and Georgian Dances 2:20 for 2:30-4:30pm:
With live period music and Dancing Master David Wanless. Have fun with a variety of lively dances, some for the evening ball and some just because they’re exciting dances. No partner or dancing experience required but if you can make it to the earlier workshop first that would be good. Learn a Quadrille for an informal display at the ball. BYO water bottle.
St James Church Hall, 462 Elizabeth St (off Rupert Ave, enter behind church) $12/$10
