Item Description

Each package consists of two tickets to the Fifth Annual Jane Austen Dance on May 18, 2013.    

The dance will be held at the Charleston Heights Arts Center, 800 S. Brush Street, Las Vegas, and will feature English Country dances from the Regency Era when Jane Austen lived (1775-1817) and wrote her famous novels. The ball will feature a live chamber ensemble, playing period music on instruments in use at that time.  Dancers and other attendees are encouraged (but not required) to wear formal Regency dress or period military uniforms or Scottish kilts. Refreshments based on recipes from the Regency timeframe will be featured.  

There will be plenty of opportunity to become familiar with the dances and dance style prior to the event. At the Jane Austen evening, each dance will be briefly walked through before the music begins, and will also be called while the musicians are playing.  The event is co-sponsored by the Southern Nevada Old-Time Contra Dancers, the City of Las Vegas Office of Cultural Affairs, and the National Folk Organization. 


Item Special Note

This evening is a great opportunity to dress up in costume and thoroughly enjoy dancing to classical music played by talented Las Vegas musicians.

We would like to thank our sponsors....
