To support pupils’ study of Pride and Prejudice and their understanding of the social context of the novel, the English department arranged for all Year 11s to attend a Regency Dance class as part of their English lessons.
It was patently a fun and relaxed way of getting under the skin of the novel, but it also provided a unique opportunity to understand the social etiquette of Regency balls and the importance of dancing as a means of communication and interaction for young men and women of the period.
Many thanks to Libby Curzon for her spirited instruction on the elegant etiquette of the Regency Ballroom.
