| Dance Through Colonial American History |
| In colonial America, French and English Dancing Masters traveled from town to town teaching the newest steps to the upper and middle classes. Proper manners and social graces were an essential part of the lessons. If you could not dance, you were not accepted in polite society. With American independence, these dances were modified to reflect a more patriotic image. Learn original Colonial period dances and American variations, suitable for second through twelfth grade. The presenter is an internationally acclaimed caller, teacher, and composer of contra and line dances. Graduate studies in cultural anthropology motivated her interest in dance. |
