The Limestone Frolic, 2025
Description
DatesFriday 5th September 2025Event TypeFestivalsHistory
Music and dance is a living link to our heritage. Discover more about the history of dance in early Ipswich with demonstrations and an opportunity to experience the dances themselves.
Dancing was a popular amusement for celebrating grand occasions as well as more everyday activities: picnics, holiday balls and dances at home. Almost any festivity would include dancing.
At the Limestone Frolic, Dr Heather Blasdale Clarke will demonstrate and teach a selection of dances with the accompaniment of Australia’s premier historical dance band, Phillip’s Dog. Be transported to an age where dance music was full of glorious melodies and celebrate Ipswich history through dance.
Costumes are encouraged but not required.
