It's true. We just had our spring event (see above), but there are plenty of other vintage dance events in different periods. (note, of course, that vintage dance != larp, though I've done larping in the Victorian period (hmm. Torch of Freedom might be 1860s or so -- though it's Europe, not England).

Do you have any idea what the source of the "acting in character" freakout is? How does she feel about murder mystery games (which are much closer to theater style larps)?
