Schedule of Events

The Victorian Dance Ensemble has performed at the restored home

of Simon Cameron, Lincoln’s first Secretary of War.

Note: This schedule is subject to change. Confirm events before making plans to attend.

Formal Balls usually require 19th century attire (some allow men in coats & ties and ladies in dresses, check with the sponsor), the music is usually live.

Informal Dances allow casual modern clothing, music is usually recorded and the events are designed to teach dancing to newcomers and for experienced dancers to practice.

Dance Demonstrations present typical dances of the mid 19th century to audiences, they often include a fashion show and description of Victorian etiquette, they usually conclude with some instruction and audience participation.

VDE Rehearsals & Meetings are for VDE members only or specifically invited guests.
