We perform a variety of breathtaking pieces from the 19th and early 20th centuries in authentic period costume. Each of our dances brings to life a period in history, complete with the music, dance, dress, and mannerisms of the time. Many of our dancers have studied with dance historian Richard Powers of Stanford University and have performed in such settings as the Smithsonian Institution, Paris, and Prague. Through the accurate recreation of these eras, we introduce our audience to the rich and evolving culture of dance.
