You do not need a costume or a partner to join in but you should wear comfortable shoes
We make a charge of £4 for each class to cover the cost of hiring the hall etc
Bath is an increasingly popular location for film and TV projects. Dancing skills in costume increase your chances of being involved in these productions. For those interested in entering this world learning dances of the period gives you an advantage
While you don't need a costume to take part in classes, if you want to represent the Jane Austen Dancers at events you will need an authentic costume. Please discuss this with one of the committee before making or buying, so that we can give you as much help and advice as possible

"Sir William has engaged a dancing master to put me into a gentile and polite method of acquitting myself with propriety on the important circumstance of moving about a room gracefully"
