Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Amy Drake

Step into the world of Jane Austen and Bridgerton for an afternoon of historical elegance and entertainment!

At 1:00pm, the Academy of Danse Libre presents a special showcase performance spanning our full historical repertoire ranging from the Jazz Age back to the 1810s.

At 3:00pm, the Hillside Club transforms into a Regency Assembly Room. Guests are invited to join our dancers on the floor for a social ball accompanied by live musicians and called by the accomplished Cassiane Mobley. No partner necessary!

Whether you come to witness the performance or to dance the afternoon away, it is certain to be the “diamond” of the season.

Tickets start at $20, with all proceeds benefiting Danse Libre’s mission to bring historical dance performances and educational programs to our community.
