Festival Celebrates Jane Austen's Legacy with Dance

Ellie Potts likes to dance with friends. They like old English dances from over 200 years ago. The dances are not like the newest songs from today.

The music starts, and people bow to each other. They hold hands and dance in circles. The dancers move in patterns with each other during the dance.
