Regency Dance Classes
Come and learn dances from Jane Austen's time at Institut Français d'Écosse with Talitha MacKenzie, a teacher of Historical Dance & Dance Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
About Regency Dance Classes
In our upcoming term of classes, we're going back to basics! We'll be learning the original First Set of Quadrilles that came to Edinburgh from Paris after the Battle of Waterloo.
No experience required. Beginners are very welcome as these dances are less complicated than some of the later sets.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
