Celebrating Queer Historical Romances: Regency Dance with Fit for Fiction

  • Jose Mateo Ballet Theater 400 Harvard Street Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138 United States (map)

Footwork & Frolick is excited to partner with Fit for Fiction for literary-inspired dancing this June!

No historical romance is complete without at least one ballroom scene, and period materials reveal a more complex history of gender on the dance floor than we might expect. Join Fit for Fiction and The Footwork & Frolick Society for a beginner-friendly historical dance class and discussion celebrating queer Regency romance. This beginner, early 19th-century dance class will teach group dances reconstructed from historical sources, using gender-neutral terminology.

No partner or previous experience required! Dancers are recommended to bring shoes with flat or low heels that are comfortable to walk in. 

Gentlemen, ladies, allies, and everyone in between welcome. Tickets are available through the Fit for Fiction website here.
