Embark on a journey back in time and join us for historic dancing—no time machine or experience required. Come with a dance partner, or come alone.

Time

Monday nights from

7 pm – 8:45 pm

Location

Various libraries throughout the Salt Lake County Library system. Visit our schedule for more details. 

Cost

Our group is 100% volunteer, and there is no cost to participants for our weekly practices. We believe dance is an art that should be enjoyed by all and that the best way to preserve the dances from the past is to make them readily accessible.

Attire

Most group members typically wear everyday modern-era clothes to our weekly practices. However, you are always welcome to dress up if you desire.

We had a lot of fun teaching historic dances set to anime-themed music at Hachicon. Thanks everyone who joined us! If you missed it, don't worry, we have other events in the works that you can learn about on our Events webpage or by visiting our Schedule.

New Galleries and Social Media

Our digital content manager has been busy compiling two new galleries that you can access through our Past Events Gallery. One of these new galleries features candid photos. We also created a video gallery and started a YouTube channel.  

New Blog Post

Members Clockwork and Gears Vintage Dancing have scoped out many of the fabric stores in Salt Lake County so you don't have to and have found some diamonds in the rough that are useful to historic costumers and cosplayers.

Fae Masquerade

We had a great time teaching dances at the Adult Night Out Fae Masquerade at the Viridian Event Center on May 22. Thanks to everyone who joined us! If you missed it, don't worry, we have other events in the works that you can learn about on our Events webpage or by visiting our Schedule.

New Events Page

We recently created a new webpage titled "Events." Information about major events has always been available mixed in with the dates of our weekly practices on the Schedule page. However, we thought it might be helpful to have a specific page with all the written details about our major events—including balls, conventions, and other special occasions.
