Victorian Dance Group
We are a friendly group who try and recreate the dances of the 19th century. We also look at other period dances, if there is an interesting Ball up coming !
We hold regular balls and formal Tea Dances.
We also visit other costumed balls around the country.
We are willing and able to do dance displays for events.
Our practise nights are Sundays 7-9pm at Seagrave Village Hall. All welcome, no need for a partner. Accompanied children are also welcome. Cost is £1 per person and we have a tea drink and members often bring cake and biscuits.
Any funds we raise are gifted to the North Leicestershire Link of Chernobyl Children's Lifeline.
