Experience the elegance and charm of yesterday's ballroom when society was in its heyday and dance was a favorite pastime. Since 1983, the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers have been reconstructing, performing and teaching social dances of the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries. Instructors are Marc Casslar, Susan de Guardiola, Richard Powers, Antonia Pugliese, Barbara Pugliese and Joan Walton as instructors. The focus of the classes will be the dances from the mid-Nineteenth through the Early Twentieth Centuries.
hosted by the Commonwealth vintage dancers:
Combining exquisite costuming with a fine sense of period manners, style and customs, the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers bring to life the most popular dances of their day. In addition to providing performances of these dances, the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers can help organize and run Grand Balls, Tea Dances, Garden Parties and other period amusements. We are experienced at teaching classes and leading workshops for beginner through advanced dancers. Each summer our company hosts the Newport Vintage Dance Week, a week-long extravaganza of dance and amusements in and around the mansions of Newport, Rhode Island.
We will be offering balls in some of America’s most elegant and splendid ballrooms. The lovely Astors’ Beechwood will host the 1890’s soirée on Wednesday evening, the formal dinner and Ragtime ball will be at Glen Manor House and the mid-19th Century ball will be returning to Ochre Court, the original site of our 19th century balls at the Dance Week. Live music for all three evenings will be provided by the New River Dance Orchestra. The theme for the final night’s fancy dress ball will be Celestial Worlds.
Other events scheduled during the week include an optional group tour of one of the Gilded Age mansions, afternoon teas, a formal dinner, a New England lobster fest, outings, a vintage swap and sell, and informal lectures on period topics, including a costume workshop on period dress trimmings.
