John Playford's 'Dancing Master' books spanned 1650 to 1728. In that time, English social dances metamorphosed from earthy Tudor origins to French-influenced elegance -- or did they? Spend a lively day learning well-known and less well-known Playford dances, with the steps that people of the time would have danced. Led by friendly tutors from the Historical Dance Society. A great work-out for brains and legs!
