St Wulstan’s Church Hall, Newcastle under Lyme, ST5 0EG
John Playford’s The Dancing Master books spanned 1651 (as The English Dancing Master) to 1728. In that time, English social dance metamorphosed from earthy Tudor origins to French-influenced elegance – or did it?
Spend a lively day learning well-known and less well-known Playford dances, with the steps that people of the time would have danced.
Led by friendly tutors from the Historical Dance Society. A great work-out for brains and legs!
No partner needed nor previous experience.
Please wear loose comfortable clothes and flexible footwear.
