Event Details

Calling all Jane Austen fans!

2025 marks the 250th birthday of celebrated author, Jane Austen. Her actual birthday is on Dec. 16, but we are celebrating a week and a half early.

Join dance historian and teacher, Susan de Guardiola, for a lively lecture about Jane Austen and dance! Then live out your Emily Bennett or Mr. Darcy dream and learn two dances featured in Austen's books. These group dances are fun, easy to learn!

A birthday wouldn't be complete without treats. Mini-cupcakes and tea will round out this exciting afternoon as we celebrate and learn more about one of the world's most famous authors, Jane Austen.

Feel free to wear a birthday hat or your favorite Jane Austen-style dress!

Registration is required.

This event is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Weston Public Library and the Weston History & Culture Center.
