About

Jeanette Watts never stops dancing.

​

While she taught social dance at the college level for seventeen years, she also started and ran a belly dance troupe, a French Cancan troupe, a college flash mob, and multiple historical ballroom dance clubs in multiple states.

 

She has been the program director for civil war-era balls, Regency balls, Renaissance dances, USO dances, 1950s sock hops, Ragtime dances, Colonial dances, Gay Nineties dances, and Roaring Twenties speakeasies.

​

She was recently a guest on Historyman: check out her interview here. (You might have to scroll down to "The Culture of Dance in RevWar with Jeanette Watts")
