A Lewis & Clark/Regency Era Ball

When Lewis & Clark returned from their expedition, many balls were held in their honor. Learn historically-based dances from the late 1700’s into the early 1800’s such as The Touchstone, the Duke of Kent’s Waltz, and Cotillions. All steps are taught, and no partner or previous experience is necessary. 

Presented in collaboration with Guli Productions.

What You Didn’t Know About the Lewis & Clark Expedition

Did you know Lewis and Clark took new experimental gear with them on their journey? Like matches and inflatable mattresses? And how popular York and Seaman were with the Native tribes, and why? And what they ate when they were starving? History is fascinating!
