In the 1770s, Patriots fought for independence and the founders laid the framework for our government. When they needed to celebrate or relax, you can bet they were dancing. In this class, Barbara Pugliese will teach you dances reconstructed from 18th-century sources. In no time, you’ll be dancing elegant minuets and lively country dances fit for a revolutionary. No partner and no prior dance experience are needed, although participants should be able to walk briskly and follow directions. Register through the library’s new online calendar. The class will continue to be presented on four Wednesday nights next month, from February 5 through 19.
