Recreating ballroom scenes evocative
of the Fezziwig's "Christmas Carol" festivities, Tapestry's
dancers present favorite ballroom dances from Victorian England and America's
Civil War era.
Tapestry's formally-dressed,
indoor programs spotlight the popular formal couple dances of the ballroom,
including the waltz, polka, schottische and galop.
Outdoor performances feature lively group social dances of the mid-19th
century, such as the Lancers' Quadrille and the Rustic Reel, researched
from the dance manuals and 'ball-room prompter' instruction manuals of
the 1840-1860 period.
