English Regency Dancers

Welcome !

My wife and I like to organise Regency Dance Events:

  • Regency Balls when you have something to celebrate

  • Displays and extravaganza to liven up your party

  • One-off or regular classes with your friends

Regency Dancing is fun and flirtatious and for real people at any age or level.

  • You don‘t need to be an expert - it‘s OK to start at the beginning

  • You don‘t need a costume - just wear light clothes and soft flexible shoes

  • You don‘t need to bring a partner - you will find partners there

Note: I don‘t hold regular workshops, though I do give classes from time to time at Hampshire Regency Dancers

What is English Regency Dancing?

English Regency Dances are the Cotillions, Quadrilles, Country Dances and Waltzes of the English Regency Era, circa 1750-1830.

You will have seen dancing from this period in the BBC Series 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Poldark' (which uses some of my music) and more recently the BBC documentary 'My Friend Jane' (where I called the ball).

There are thousands of dances to choose from. My other website RegencyDances.org lists almost 2,500 dances alone. We have plenty of choice and we can choose the ones that are most fun, most elegant or most energetic, as we wish.

This is the time of Jane Austen, Lord Nelson, the Prince Regent, the Duke of Wellington and Beau Brummell. The ladies were beautiful and the gentlemen, especially the soldiers in their dress regimentals, were handsome.

In Regency Dancing you dance in sets, not just couples, so you get to meet and dance with everyone.

Find a society near you and join in.

It's good fun!
