The patronesses of Almack's, the most fashionable assembly room in Regency London, invite you to a delightful evening of elegance and dance.
The night will bring a full evening of Regency dancing, that scandalous waltz, amazing costumes, and witty conversation.r.
Greenwich Mean Time, capital in their country dances, will play English country dances popular in the time of Jane Austen as well as some earlier country dance classics, the newly fashionable Quadrille, and a number of exquisite early 19th waltzes. And, of course, we will dance the wildly popular Congress of Vienna Waltz and Sir Roger de Coverley.
Don't know a hey for four from an allemande? Never fear! There will be a pre-ball workshop in Regency country dance from 7 to 8pm, and all country dances will be briefly taught and called at the ball. No partners needed either for the dance class or the ball. In true Regency fashion, most of us change partners frequently!
Late 18th century, early 19th century Regency (1811-1820), Romantic era costume, or modern evening dress is admired, but not required, Costumes and characters from both Jane Austen’s novels and films and the popular T.V. series “Bridgerton” are very welcome.
There will be a light snack buffet in the parlor, and a no-host (cash) bar outside the ballroom.
