SUMMARY:Historisk dansbal
LOCATION:Livrustkammaren\, Slottsbacken 3\, 11130 Stockholm
DESCRIPTION:Experience a historical ball with dancing to live music in th
 e atmospheric Stensalen at Livrustkammaren. We travel back to Queen Chris
 tina’s Swedish court in the 1650s and dance alongside the queen. The ev
 ening begins with a welcome punch\, followed by successive rounds of soci
 al dances of varying difficulty. During a longer break\, light refreshmen
 ts are served together with historical confectionery. Livrustkammaren’s
  exhibitions are open to visitors\, and a surprise or two is promised.\n\
 nThis year’s ball takes its inspiration from the court ballets and fest

 circle dances first\, followed by French dances and finally English count
 ry dances. “The queen was delighted with these English dances\, and her
 self danced with more spirit and inspiration than the other ladies.”\n\
 nThe English dances that Queen Christina so enjoyed were all the rage in 
 the mid-17th century. The ball will therefore focus on dances from John P

 accomplished dance historian and teacher Camilla Kandare is responsible f
