Our friend Gail Eastwood, who brought us the wonderful series on Regency period dancing some months back, sent us this note which may be of interest to readers in the New York/New England area:On Sunday, December 13 there will be a tea dance to celebrate the 234th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth ( a few days early). Dance historian Susan de Guardiola from Connecticut will teach country dances of the era plus the Boulanger, the Country Bumpkin, and Sir Roger de Coverley --maybe even a cotillion or quadrille. Period costume is encouraged and admired but not required, and period refreshments will be served.
The time and location: 1-4pm, at Goff Hall, 124 Bay State Road, Rehoboth, Massachusetts
A map and directions are at: www.contradancelinks.com/rehoboth_map.html
For more info, email me (geastokes@aol.com) or Liefe Wheeler (liefe@comcast.net)
