Category:Regency dance

Regency dance is the term for dances of the period ranging roughly from 1790 to 1825. Some feel that the use of the term is not correct, as the English Regency lasted only from 1811 until 1820. However, the term "Regency" has been used to refer to a much broader period than the historical Regency for a long time, particularly in areas such as the history of art and architecture, literature and clothing. This is because there are consistencies of style over this period which make having a single term useful.

Most popular exposure to this era of dance comes in the works of Jane Austen.
