Titanic 100th Anniversary
The Titanic was a terrible tragedy, and many lives were lost. But so much is known about life aboard the ship that it gives us the chance to look back on the dancing and music of that time. Imagine it is 1912, and people are dancing to popular tunes, including “The Glow-Worm” and the haunting waltz, "Songe d'Automne" (Dream of Autumn), which many believe was the last song played by the Titanic orchestra before the ship sank.

The War of 1812 Bicentennial: Dances of the 1810s
The 1810s were a delightful era in dance, starting with country dances and reels. Change was in the air. The end of the war in 1814 and the end of the fighting in Europe brought the spread of new dances, including the quadrille from France. Political and diplomatic forces were poised to change the ballroom forever.
