Dance Classes
The RCHS Dance Classes are open to anyone who is interested in learning
Colonial period dances. It is a fun time for the family - we have adults
as well as children involved in our classes.
You are not required to perform publicly in order to
come to classes and learn. Please join us one evening for a bit of fun or
just to come and watch!
We meet on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month at
7:00pm at St. George's Episcopal Church, 905 Princess Anne Street,
Fredericksburg in the Family Room, George Street entrance. There is a suggested donation of $2 per
class.

| The Dance Demonstration Team is a group of
people who are dedicated to coming to rehearsals, having the
proper attire and who are available to
do dance demonstrations at events.
We have performed for such venues as Stratford Hall,
Gunston Hall, Montpelier, George Washington Birthplace National Monument,
Historic Dumfries VA, Weems-Botts Museum in Dumfries, VA, Historic Port
Royal VA, Fredericksburg's Candlelight Tour, and First Night, March
Muster, Fielding Lewis Market Days, and Ferry Farm - just to name a few.
If you wish to join us, we have attire to loan for those
who haven't acquired their wardrobe yet. In order to perform or
participate in any events we do require that you be a current member of
RCHS for liability concerns and insurance reasons.
Membership is $10
individual or $15 family annually.
Demonstration dance classes are usually held the 1st &
3rd Fridays of the month at St. George's Episcopal Church. If you have a
wish to perform with the demo group you should attend these classes. Demo
Classes are open to everyone, but format varies from our regular 2nd & 4th
Friday dance classes with the concentration being on footwork, technique &
style. Soft sole dance shoes are strongly suggested. Please see the
calendar for any scheduling changes.
