Dance Discovery is a performance dance troupe based in St. Louis, Missouri. We formed the troupe in response to the commemoration of the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery expedition. Dance Discovery's mission is to provide festivity and merriment to celebrations by researching, performing and fostering historically appropriate social dances from Playford (1600's) to the present including those of American, English, French and Spanish origins. Dance Discovery is an affiliate of the Country Dance and Song Society.

We have danced at a variety of venues and occasions around the St. Louis area including:

  • Lewis and Clark Heritage Days in St. Charles, MO
  • May Day at the Missouri Botanical Gardens
  • Lewis and Clark Historic Site in Hartford, IL
  • Historical Festival in St. Genevieve, MO
  • Lincoln Library grand opening, Springfield, IL
  • Gateway Arch lobby
  • Daughters of the American Revolution, Jefferson City
  • Jefferson Dinner and Program, St Charles, MO
