Vintage Dance Society

The Vintage Dance Society is dedicated to the reconstruction and preservation of the music and dances of the Victorian and Ragtime eras (circa 1840 to 1925). The society works with theatrical and film production companies, organizations, festivals, museums, etc. to develop theatrical performances (for stage and film), workshops (as an opportunity to learn the dances of these eras) and period social events (as an opportunity to step back in time and enjoy these dances in the setting they originated in). Periodically the society also hosts workshops, formal balls, and informal dances as a chance to meet other vintage dance enthusiasts, to learn new dances, and to hone one's dance skills.
