St Johns Church Hall, Constitution Ave, Reid, Canberra ACT

Nothing says Victorian Dance like the charm and spectacle of a Victorian Era Dance Festival – dozens of dancers in elaborate costumes swirling gracefully to the music of another era. You can be part of it! Learn the dances, join a costuming workshop, enter the costumed croquet tournament, dance at the ball, learn how to do a victorian hair style, laugh at Improv Theatre doing Dickens or just enjoy a close-up look at some very rare vintage costumes never before seen in Canberra. See http://www.earthlydelights.com.au for more information and to register.

An all-inclusive Victorian Era Dance Weekend package (Workshops, Balls, Tea Dance and Refreshments) for the long weekend is $190 (just $150 for our RiotACT friends for the month of August – by booking at http://dancing.eventbrite.com/?discount=VIC2009). Victorian costume is admired but not required. Separate admission is also available, as well as entry to a special one-off exhibition of antique ballgowns and clothes from 1830 – 1910.
Hosted by the Earthly Delights Historic Dance Academy. Organised by John & Aylwen Gardiner-Garden, Canberra.

There will be another similar event in Canberra in 2011 – A 19th Century Dance Week from 18-21 April. At the moment its only just been added to facebook but will be added to the website soon, so add your name to the mailing list to receive an earlybird invitation.

It looks incredible! If I had the money I’d certainly go.
