Demeanor and Deportment: Practical Advice for the Aspiring Lady or Gentleman
During the mid-19th century, industrialization and urbanization caused a vast increase in the middle class. In turn, many men and women needed to learn proper behavior for ladies and gentlemen. Learn what defines a "gentleperson" and when/ how such behavior is appropriate.
~ Presented by Robin Dorman
Dare to Dance
Break out the Beer-Can Hold ‘cause Mrs. Hardee’s comin’ to town. This interactive workshop will provide you with the basic steps of 19th century dancing as well as the reasons behind the movements. ~ Presented by Brenda Plakmeyer
