The Arlington House Victorian Dance Society, an interpretive program of Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial (National Park Service), is currently recruiting new members. This all-volunteer group was founded in 2012 under the direction of dance mistress Amy Kassens Delery, and performs dances of the mid-19th century in period clothing at Arlington House, Fort Washington Park, the Frederick Douglass Historic Site, Glen Echo, and other local venues. No previous dance experience is necessary but being able to dance with the musical beat is required. Rehearsals are held one Sunday afternoon each month at Goodwin House Bailey's Crossroads and regular attendance is expected. For more information, contact Delery at arlingtonvictoriandance@gmail.com.
