Your Listings on the Early Dance Circle Website and Social Media
Members can list their details on our website. Our Groups and Classes pages include special learning days, weekends, and Easter & Summer Schools. Our Early Dance Calendar lists balls, dances, displays and exhibitions etc. We also welcome items for our News section on the homepage. Please send your prospective listings to secretary@earlydancecircle.co.uk.
Access to current research and practice in early dance
Our Publications, Events and the EDC’s National Research Centre for Historical Dance are all key to this. In our Resources section we provide information and bibliographies on all periods of early dance and now publish a range of papers under the title Research Issues.
Advance notification of events
The five regular mailings made to members each year also contain publicity material and booking forms for numerous early dance events, including those not hosted by EDC.
Discounted prices
Members have access to promotional codes for some public events and also pay less for events organised by the EDC, including the Early Dance Festival, which is held in the autumn each year at different venues around the UK.
