Welcome to Our Site
The Jane Austen Dancers are based in the beautiful Georgian City of Bath, where Jane Austen set two of her six published novels and made her home from 1801 to 1806, and in nearby historic Bradford-on-Avon
The Jane Austen Dancers provide opportunities for people from all backgrounds to develop their knowledge of and skill at the dances from the Regency and late Georgian period and share their knowledge and pleasure with a wider public through a varied programme of dances and balls and demonstrations
We hold regular classes in the art of late Georgian social dance where whatever your dance experience, from beginner to experienced, you can learn to master " Duke of Kent's Waltz " or " Prince Regent's Favourite " as well as keeping fit and making new friends
Many of our members get involved in our costumed demonstrations and several have had the opportunity to participate in professional film and television projects
The Jane Austen Dancers can also be hired to perform at your special occasion
You can now find the Jane Austen Dancers on Facebook
"It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at a ball of any description, and no material injury accrue, either to body or mind; but when a beginning is made - when the felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly felt - it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more" Jane Austen in Emma
