Dancing played a significant role in New Bern social activities during the late eighteenth-century. Dancing assemblies and balls were commonplace events during the winter seasons, and dancing schools were held by various itinerant dancing masters during the last two decades of the century.

Blackburn, Charles, Jr.

North Carolina's longest running dance, the Carolina Dance Society's annual Spring German, has been taking place at Raynor's Warehouse in Rocky Mount since 1870. Blackburn recounts the history of the dance. The german was a two-step dance with a leader who goes at the head of its intricate figures. The dance was the social event of the region and attracted hundreds to the warehouse where it was held, some from as far away as Atlanta and Houston.
