WHO WE ARE

The VSCS is a not-for-profit 501(c)(4) Colorado corporation.  Our membership comprises individuals from Colorado Springs and surrounding areas dedicated to learning and practicing dances from the Victorian era, with special emphasis on historical accuracy.

WHAT WE DO

The mission of the VSCS is to preserve the rich social history and culture of the Victorian era (the period of 1837-1901) through public education, and demonstrations, with a primary focus on dance.

 

The group conducts free dance lessons each month through the season (August to April) to learn and practice dances from the period of the reign of Queen Victoria. Dances include reels, quadrilles, set waltzes, polkas, and of course the elegant free waltz -- all guaranteed to make you smile.  Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun whether singles or couples -- partners are not required.  Monthly dance lessons are open to members and non-members and are free.   See the SCHEDULE page for monthly lesson time and place.

We conduct a casual dance in the spring and a formal grand ball in the fall.  Other events are scheduled at the whim of the membership.  Watch the SCHEDULE page on this web site to see what's happening when. 

YOU CAN DO IT, TOO

If you are concerned that you may have two left feet and the dances might be too difficult, let us assure you that the dances are not at all complicated.  If you can walk, you can do these dances.  The trickiest part of Victorian dancing is that you must know your left foot from your right.  Most people get into the swing of the dance from the very first dance.

DEMONSTRATIONS

The group is available for demonstrations and exhibitions. We will come to your location and perform dances in period wardrobe to live or recorded music.
