Join the Footwork & Frolick Society for our third annual night on the “ton” celebrating new seasons…of the springtime and Bridgerton variety!
Dance in the main hall of the Groton Grange, sample decadent refreshments, and enjoy music from the early 19th century with merry company (and hopefully no scandals worthy of Lady Whistledown).
The evening will feature country dances from the Regency period (late 18th and early 19th centuries). Beginners are encouraged to attend - all dances will be taught, and no partner is required!
We are also adding a new pre-ball reception this year for attendees to gather before dancing starts. Join us on the lawn (weather permitting) for a glass of sparkling cider.
The Footwork & Frolick Society is a 501(c)(3) public charity located in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our mission is to promote historical education through the research, recreation, performance, and instruction of eighteenth and nineteenth century dance and other active pursuits rooted in the social traditions of the American Northeast. We believe that everyone benefits from learning about the past in a hands-on format, and we are proud to contribute to the rich historical landscape in the area by running historical social events and sharing our research! Everyone should be welcome in modern historical spaces regardless of race, religion, gender identity or presentation. Our work is intended to make learning about dancing and movement in the past engaging and fun - not to mythologize the “old days”. F&F classes and events are open to all, and we do not tolerate bigotry in our spaces.
