Victorian Society
of Colorado Springs (VSCS)
The VSCS is a group of individuals in the Colorado Springs and surrounding areas, dedicated to learning and practicing dances from the Victorian era, with special emphasis on historical accuracy.
 |
The groups meets each month to practice dances from the period of 1837-1901 ( the reign of Queen Victoria ). Dances include reels, quadrilles, waltz style dances, and of course, the waltz itself. All guaranteed to make you smile! Anyone is welcome to join in on the fun whether singles or couples - partners are not required.

Gentlemen,
if you are concerned that you may have two left feet and the dances might
be too much for you, let us reassure you that the dances are not complicated.
If you can walk, you can do these dances!
