L'Academie Atlantienne de la Danse (The Atlantian Academie of Dance, or simply "The Academie") is a royally chartered guild of Atlantia created to further the practice of dance throughout the kingdom. The fundamental premise of the Academie is, quite simply, that DANCE IS FUN! By bringing together those who love dancing, would like to learn to dance, like playing dance music, or enjoy teaching others to dance, the Academie creates a community to foster the art of dancing throughout the kingdom. We are dancers, musicians, instructors, but also fighters, artisans, and every-day people, who enjoy dancing and the dancing arts, and who share the vision of making dancing commonplace throughout Atlantia. The Academie is open to anyone who practices, teaches, or who is otherwise interested in the art, music, history, reconstruction, performance or theory of period dancing styles.

We have formed the Academie, in essence, to provide a dance-focused forum wherein we can exchange ideas and sources, and to aid in our efforts to bring Atlantia to her feet. The Academie is all-inclusive. Anyone with an interest in period dance, regardless of talent or skill, is welcome to join and participate!

Our Mission

We encourage the learning and mastery of the art of dancing, while aiding those outside of the Academie in the appreciation of dance.

The Academie does this by encouraging its members to study, teach, and consult with one another regarding period techniques, sponsoring dance workshops and practices, and sponsoring classroom instruction at Universities and other symposia. We will also work with local groups to help get dance practices started, and will provide instructors and arrange for musicians whenever possible.

Keep in Touch

For a thriving dance community to flourish we have a low volume email list (couple emails per month) and an interactive Facebook group. We encourage you to join both!. This is a great way to hear about upcoming dance opportunities, share your knowledge, learn from each other, and generally connect with others with a passion for dance.
