Please join Susan de Guardiola and the fine musicians of Spare Parts for our Eighth Annual Regency Assembly, two days of early nineteenth century dance and pastimes from the era of Jane Austen, Napoleon, Beau Brummel, and Lord Byron.

Saturday afternoon, prepare for the evening's ball with a dance workshop. Then join us in formal wear or period costume for a lively evening's dancing with delicious refreshments prepared from recipes of the early 19th century.

The ball and dance workshops will be precepted by Susan de Guardiola, who will lead us in lively country dances along with the figures and changes of the cotillon (in the style of Miss Austen's youth), Mr. Chivers' new Caledonian Quadrilles, and the scandalous Waltz.

Sunday afternoon, enjoy a delightful afternoon of Regency-era games accompanied by still more scrumptious refreshments.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended -- space is strictly limited to sixty dancers and people will be admitted at the door only if space permits!

Early 19th century costume for ladies and gentlemen is encouraged and admired, but not required; formal wear is requested for Saturday's ball. Comfortable casual clothing is fine for the dance workshop. Period daywear or respectable modern dress is suitable for Sunday. Flat leather-soled shoes or dance slippers are recommended for the ball - no sneakers, and absolutely no high heels!
