The Hampshire Regency Dancers is a dance group based in Winchester, England. Our aim is to promote, practice and enjoy the dances from the late Georgian to the Regency period (about 1775-1830), when Jane Austen was writing her famous novels.

We meet regularly throughout the year on Wednesday evenings, so you can learn the Country Dances, Cotillions and Quadrilles danced by Jane and the characters in her novels. The dances are suitable for all ages and abilities and you don't need to bring a partner or a costume!

Dances are taught by historical dance experts. We walk all dances through in advance, practice any new steps and then dance them to the music of the period. Some of the dances are lively, but others are slow and stately, designed to allow dancers of the Regency period to show off their finery!

We always welcome new members so why not discover the elegance and style of dancing in a different century!

We also hold Regency Balls, Assemblies and other Events during the year in period costume. Some Events are for members only and some are open to the public.

See Programme.

Our display team perform at Regency and Jane Austen events, period re-enactments, dance festivals and private events (such as Assembly Balls) organised or attended by the group.

You can hire our display team to perform at your special event and we are happy to tailor our programme to your requirements.
