Dancing Point, on the north bank of the James River in Charles City County, Virginia, is significant for both archaeology and later cultural history. It is the site of the 1619 Smith's Hundred settlement, linking it directly to the earliest years of English colonization near Jamestown. Archaeological remains from Virginia's early colonial period may shed light on interactions between those settlers and nearby Native American communities. The property is also associated with an eighteenth-century local legend about Philip Lightfoot II holding dancing contests with the devil. In the 1970s, it gained added importance through a Post-Modern landscape design by Thomas Church and a house designed by Robert W. Stewart.
