# Event Details

- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 04 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 04 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: English Country Dance: The Social Dance of “The Long Eighteenth Century” (ca. 1660 to 1830)

IN THE EARLY modern period, a dance form arose that came from the dignified medieval court dances, and which would later give rise to the social dances such as quadrilles, square dance, line dance, and contra-dancing. Despite being enjoyed in many countries, and by many classes of people, it is commonly known as English Country Dancing. Popularized in movies and books such as Pride & Prejudice and Bridgerton, it has experienced a modern revival as people look for ways to connect in our increasingly-fragmented contemporary world.

These “primer” classes are taught on the first Tuesday of each month by longtime dancing master, Brett Walker, at the Somerset County Historical Center. This is an activity for all ages, and we always welcome new people, giving them a chance to initially experience several simpler dances in a “building-block” learning style. Why not give it a whirl?

Cost:
Ages 13 to Adult - $15
Ages 9 to 12 - $10
Ages 6 to 8 - $5
Ages 5 and under - Free

FIRST LESSON IS FREE FOR ALL NEW DANCE STUDENTS! It is requested that first-time students come to the class half hour early (viz., 5:30 p.m.), to go over "preliminaries."
