A Regency Ball
21. Juni 2025 • Schloss • Eichstätt
As always, the focus is on dancing
and the pleasure of charming encounters.
The program again includes many dances
from the well-known repertoire of The Pemberley Players, Liverpool,
all of which will be shown again at the ball.
The dance figures are mostly announced with their original, English names,
here is an overview of the different figures
as they will appear in the dances of the ball
At the ball, all calls will be as in German as in English,
I use the historical English names for the dance figures.
For this I refer to the figure catalogs of the Regency.
