Regency Dance lessons with Mrs Bennet for beginners

New class- Beginner’s Regency Dance Classes

Dear dancers and beginners

Mrs Bennet is pleased to announce a new course: Beginners' Regency Dance classes!

This new course of seven classes will be taught by me every alternate Wednesday from 8pm to 10pm on the weeks in between Mrs Bennet's usual class. This course is designed for absolute beginners and for those who struggle a little in our regular classes, and want a gentler pace and focus on the basics.

DATES are:

September 13th

September 27th

October 11th

October 25th

November 8th

November 22nd

December 6th

We will do these new classes in the same admirable dance hall at St Mark's Church in Surbiton that we currently use every other Wednesday.

Existing students may of course attend both classes, if they so choose.

This new class will focus on precise footwork (danced in time to the music), elegant body positioning and frame. We will practice some of the simpler and easier Regency dances, with one walk through and students will then dance each dance twice, and perhaps in differently composed groups, if possible. We hope to go through 2 or 3 dances per evening, with repetition of dances but the focus will be on quality rather than quantity.

After the initial first opening class, each class will repeat two or three of the dances (from the previous class) and add one or two new ones, until we reach the end of the course. So that by the end of the course you will have at least 10 dances that you know well that have all the basic dance moves.

There will be a tea break with free tea.

Price will be £10 as a ‘drop in’ price for those who can only attend occasionally. Or £35 to attend all seven classes (for those who will attend every two weeks) which must be paid in advance, and for which there will be no refunds as we have to cover the hall hire.

If you wish to book for all seven classes, please bring cash on your first night of attendance, or pay in advance during our regular Wednesday class on September 6th. Please RSVP.

Please pass this invitation on to friends who may want to join this class and learn to dance with you and discover the wonderful world of historic dance!

Best wishes
