Our Philosophy
Canterbury Historical Dance exists to promote the enjoyment of and participation in recreated social dancing from throughout history.
While a number of our members strive for historical accuracy in their costumes and interpretations of dances, as a group we focus primarily on participation and fostering the enjoyment of early dance.
Canterbury Historical Dance is not a performance-based group.
We will, on occasion, perform for the public but generally prefer to dance at private or historically inspired balls and dances.
If you love to dance and want to explore the wonders of Renaissance, Baroque, Regency or Victorian dancing, come along and join us!
No dance experience is necessary
