Description

The Anatomy of A Dance Card: Learn how to dissect, analyze and discover research gems about this important social activity using original dance cards, tickets and invitations.

You may think you know a lot about the social lives of the mid-nineteenth person; but, did you know that immeasurable bits of information and material can be gleaned from these innocuous pieces of paper? Little scraps of paper that hold tons of treasure and the deeper you look, the more skillful you become at discovering the pearls within the narrative.

We will be using my original dance and ball ephemera to study where they held events, when, who and most intriguing, what dances were most popular. It wasn’t the fan dance! I will be showing you the usual and unusual along with other interesting discoveries that is a must to discuss. Let’s develop skills on how to examine our own modern biases when compared to the pieces of history we are scrutinizing. By using these historic documents, we will be learning the deeper meaning of why it is important to look at period pieces with an open mind so we can be accurate and comprehensive when we are trying to interpret.
