Leicestershire Victorian Dancers and Dancing with Darcy
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.
We incorperate the Leicestershire Victorian dancers and Dancing with Darcy groups.
Our practise nights are Sundays 7-9pm
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.
