Roman Dancers / Musicians - Pegasus - 07-08-2006
Hi , Does anybody know of any Roman Dance / Musical Group that operate around the North Of England ?
What Iam Trying to do is either recruit or have attached Roman Dancers /misicians to our Gladiator School based here in the N/E of England . I think it would add greatley to the arena spectical .
Any help would be great .
Thanks ,
Verus .

Susanna just told me that you (i.e. the group Musica Romana) are looking for a new dancer since the old one quit. So you had a dancer in our group and considering the good research Susanna does it must have existed. I assume that dancers appeared either only in a religious context or at some feasts and were slaves and not honorable citizens. I'm sure Susanna will enlighten us on this topic ones she drops by again. :lol:

That's a great idea do include musicians and dancers to your gladiatorial shows.

Hi there,
@ Paul:
I guess I know quiet all Greece/Roman Music and Dancing Group...but for GB
or US I have no idea, especially with dancers.
In US are as in GB musical groups that do mostly Greek Ancient Music.
But dance... :roll:
Most close would be a mixture of ballett and folkloristic meditaranian movements for dance...no belly dance!
Sorry, if something passes my mind, I will let you know. :wink:
Regards,
Susanna
@ Medusa: we have some gravestones naming famous dancers and pantomimes who were originally not comnig from slavery.

Salve Susanna,
Thanks for your answer.
I can imagine that dancers weren't respectable persons and that they might also be infamis similar to gladiators, actors, chariot racers etc. So if a free person became a dancer I guess he/she would find him/herself at the bottom of the social ladder. Or am I mistaken?
