"Virginians will dance or die," wrote an 18th-century diarist. What better time than the 21st century to learn a few "new" dance steps? Experience one of the most favored pastimes of colonial Virginians. The dancers discuss various types of 18th-century dances, from country dances to minuets, then demonstrate them for the audience. At various intervals throughout the program, you will be asked if you wish to participate in the fun.
