Regency-Era Dance Workshops
Jeremy Gershman, who will assume the identity of Charles Steplively at the ball, is coming all the way from central Virginia to provide expert instruction in English Country Dancing, a type of “social dancing” that was prevalent throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. There are 3 dates to choose from:

The workshops will be held in the gym in the Family Life Center at the Hay Street United Methodist Church.  Each workshop costs only $10, you may attend more than one, and you can pay at the door. However, you must register in advance with your name, email address, and the date or dates that you will attend. Send an email with that information to this  lafayetteanniversary2025@gmail.com.

Mini Tour F.I.L.I. Armory and Carriage
Choose one of the dates and times listed.

Admission: Admission is FREE but you must register with your name, email address, and physical mailing address so we can send you a commemorative Lafayette ribbon, which you must wear to gain admission. Email this information to us at lafayetteanniversary2025@gmail.com.
