Come enjoy a lighthearted talk about Jane Austen and the role of dance in her life and novels. Then kick up your heels with two easy dances associated with Jane: the "Boulanger" mentioned in Pride & Prejudice and the "Savage Dance" from her family music book using instructions written in Jane's own hand!

No experience needed! Lecture and dance presented/taught by dance historian, Susan de Guardiola. A birthday wouldn't be complete without treats. Mini-cupcakes and tea will round out this exciting afternoon as we celebrate and learn more about one of the world's most famous authors, Jane Austen.

Feel free to wear a birthday hat or your favorite Jane Austen-style dress!
