Some of the members of Musica Subterranea lead dancing at in-person events!

If you are interested in our music, the dances that match the tunes, and would like a live dance leader, we can help.

Many of our tunes are found in the Playford dance manual series starting with volume 1 published in 1651. The English Country Dance genre is full of high energy dances ranging from easy to challenging.  Other dances in our repertoire include dignified court dances from the Italian Renaissance masters Negri and Caroso, the French dance master Arbeau, and the English Gresley manuscript.

These historic dances can add an engaging level of fun to parties, balls, and festivals of all kinds.
