The Ragtime weekend with Joan Walton (Nov. 10-12, 2023) was fantastic. For a video from the weekend’s ball, visit Jeanette Watts’ Youtube channel ‘History is My Playground’ or click HERE. You can also find some videos and pictures to peruse on our site as well - click HERE. The weekend of Mar. 22-24, 2024, we were delighted to host our founder, Richard Powers, for a 19th Century dance weekend workshop and Victorian spring ball. We all enjoyed learning new variations on the classic dances we have come to love and the ball was spectacular. If you would like to see the schedule for the weekend click HERE.
