Sprigged Muslin Dancing

Dancing in Jane Austen's novels plays a pivotal role in courtship and family entertainment. The Jane Austen Centre in Bath provides a good description of Regency Dancing and the History of the Waltz.

In Calgary you can learn the dances and share laughter with the members of "Sprigged Muslin". Pat Barton, our experienced and passionate leader ensures we convey the real spirit of dancing in the Regency period.

Dancers may be members of JASNA Calgary, but everyone is welcome. We dance mainly for our own pleasure, although we do perform for seniors groups and JASNA galas. For performances we create costumes, and experienced members help with suggestions and sources.

Our next dancing night is January 25 at 7:00.

Usually we meet to learn and practice on the fourth Monday of each month at 2400 Sorrel Mews SW. If a performance is in the offing, we agree on a more frequent schedule.
