In fact, our first President, George Washington, loved to dance! At his inuagural ball, he danced to a minuet with his wife, Martha. He was also a music lover and purchased many instruments for his home in Mount Vernon, such as harpsichord from London and a Dodds fortepiano, one of the first pianos built in the United States.
Check out some more at the Colonial Music Institute. And have a happy Presidents Day!
