Workshops
We recently ran a workshop under the expert guidance of our dancing mistress, the renowned baroque dance specialist Sarah Cremer. Watch this space for details of future workshops.
Welcome to the website of the Covent Garden Minuet Company.
We perform the social dances of the 18th century, in particular the minuet, in full authentic costume, and aim to recapture the spirit and atmosphere of the grand events that took place in the Georgian Assembly Rooms.
Join us!
If you're interested in joining us, we'd love to hear from you. You don't need to have any dance experience, just enthusiasm and the desire to learn. We're especially keen to hear from men, as our gentlemen are currently outnumbered and need new recruits to swell the ranks!
Drop us a line - we're a friendly, fun-loving bunch, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Book us!
We are always looking for opportunities to dance, so if you are interested in having us perform for you, please do contact us. We are amateurs and have no fixed fee but usually negotiate a contribution towards our expenses. We dance to the music of the great baroque composers, such as Bach, Handel, Lully, Mozart, Purcell and Rameau, and will bring this on cd, however we sometimes dance to live musicians, and can provide professional musicians at their daily rate.
