The first Wednesday of the month, we will have our 18th century dance class. The class is open to all, novice to experienced. There is no fee and you are welcome with or without a partner. The classes run from 7:15 PM to approximately 9:00 PM and we adjourn for a short break and light refreshments midway through the evening. The dress is casual, modern clothing; period garb is definitely not required or encouraged at these lessons.
The classes are held each month at the "Barn" of the Chadds Ford Historical Society. The Barn is located approximately one half mile north of Route 1 at 1736 Creek Road (old Route 100) in Chadds Ford, PA. If you are driving north on Creek Road from Route 1, the Barn is on your left hand side directly across from the John Chad house. You should pass the Barn building, make a left into the parking lot, drive around the back of the building and enter through the large gray double doors between the round stone pillars. Come up the stairs to the main floor and turn right into the large meeting room where we practice.
The class has been taught each month for many years by Laura Bailey to the delight of her many students. Laura makes the trip from Lancaster each month to teach in Chadds Ford. She also teaches similar classes in Carlisle, PA and in New Castle, DE.
Recently the group has been meeting at a local restaurant for an "after dance" drink, dessert or dinner. If your schedule permits, please plan to join us after the dance for a pleasant social hour to unwind at mid-week.

Longwood Gardens’ New Summer Exhibit,
Longwood Gardens’ new nighttime installation, Nightscape: A Light and Sound Experience by Klip Collective, opening today, takes guests on an immersive journey around the Gardens with moving imagery, light and original music using Longwood’s plants and landscape as the canvas. Created by Klip Collective of Philadelphia, this innovative display is Klip’s first garden-wide installation and will showcase never-before-seen views of Longwood at night. Tickets are on sale now at longwoodgardens.org.
“Using our Gardens as the inspiration and the canvas, Klip Collective is creating an imaginative visual and sound experience. Our guests will journey through the landscape and encounter the beauty of the gardens in a new and memorable way, augmented by light, imagery, and sound,” said Executive Director Paul B. Redman.
“Nightscape is an experience very much in relationship with what’s already here at Longwood,“ said Klip Collective Director Ricardo Rivera. “Within each different Garden landscape, we’re interpreting the space through movement, color, light, and sound, feeding off what’s there and illuminating it with our imaginations in a playful way,” he said.
One of the Nightscape experiences guests will encounter is at the Rose Arbor. Here, horticulture and art converge in an arrangement featuring striking bismarckia palms illuminated in a kaleidoscope of color.
The Flower Garden Drive by day is a formal avenue of towering hedgerows, but during Nightscape, undulating waves of blue and green transform flowerbeds, hedges, and trees into an undersea fantasia.
The Legacy Tree, one of the oldest in the Gardens, is transformed as deep blue and violet colors move from the tree’s root system through its arching canopy where particles of light disperse into the night sky.
The Large Lake inspires a celebration of the natural world, orchestrated against a musical score that evokes the sounds of the night forest. The Flower Garden Walk is home to thousands of points of light that play and scatter among the flowerbeds, delighting all who see it.
Other experiences include the Topiary Garden, which brings to life these “living sculptures” in a powerful and whimsical display. The East Conservatory showcases the convergence of Longwood’s horticultural expertise with the artist’s vision of form and color in a breathtaking spectacle. In the Silver Garden, an arid, still landscape by day is transformed into an undulating, moving experience. Finally, multiple levels of color and light animate the towering palms of the Palm House.
Beer Garden Features Longwood Brew
Longwood is debuting its first ever Beer Garden featuring Victory Brewing Company. Dine with friends and family under the stars while enjoying pub-style fare and a variety of beers on tap, including a new Longwood signature brew, Longwood Seasons: Summer Zest, created by Victory Brewing Company using lemons grown at Longwood.
Nightscape Programming
Throughout Nightscape, Longwood will offer a variety of special programs and activities for guests to enjoy. These include live music, Family Nights, and a new Artist & Friends speaker series. A Nightscape ticket is required for admission to the programs and Beer Garden.
Each Thursday in the Beer Garden regional artists perform live from 7-10 pm. Bluegrass artist Marc Silver, Gypsy jazz performer Jon Dichter, soulful music innovator Angela Sheik, and acoustic pop performer Dani Mari are slated to appear. Check longwoodgardens.org for the performance schedule.
Artist & Friends
Join the creator of Nightscape, Ricardo Rivera of Klip Collective, and an engaging panel of technologists and artists as they discuss cutting-edge topics inspired by the technology, art, music, and design, of Nightscape. Panel discussions are at 7 and 9 pm.
