Bridgerton-esque Dance Party
The Lady’s Book. Philadelphia: L.A. Godey & Co., 1830.
Join Dumbarton House staff in this virtual program to learn about the history of dance and learn the steps to a few of the dance scenes in the Netflix Regency Period hit. Put on your best Regency-inspired yoga pants and let’s get down to some string quartet bops!
Why Regency Period dramas at Dumbarton House? The Regency period happened in England at the same time as the Federal period in the United States. We love having programs about Jane Austen and other regency authors and topics since many of the fashion trends, social customs, and historical events align closely with the happenings of DC and the lives of the Nourse family living at Dumbarton House.
