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 .

We don't have anything like that anywhere in north America to my knowledge, or we'd be inviting them to Roman Days.

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

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?
Vale,
