Be taken back 300 years to a time when ladies curtsied, men bowed, and courtship came alive in outdoor garden settings. Courtly, country dances were in style and "silent languages" abounded between friends and flirtatious lovers with a mere flick of a fan or handkerchief. Children and adults alike cannot help but enjoy the lively theatrics presented by the New York Baroque Dance Company and Concert Royal as they engage guests in music, dance, and fanciful history. Other activities include:
- Gallery talks about the French collection
- "Kings, Queens, & Soup Tureens" audio tour
- Garden talks in the French Parterre
- Traditional games, including jacks and a hooptossing game called The Game of Graces.
- Art Project–decorate your own miniature French furniture.
$18 Public, $12 Hillwood and Alliance Francaise Members, $7 College Students, $5 Children 6-18. No program fee is required for children under 6.
