The year 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Rather than dwell on the disaster, we will honor some true heroes: the musicians of the White Star Orchestra who kept playing…right to the end.
      The Titanic musicians played some of the most popular music of their day. Join us as we celebrate their work and times by dancing and listening to that wonderful music! Dances will include the one step, waltz, tango, and novelty dances from the 1912 era. Music will be provided by the Huron Valley Serenaders.
      All levels of dancers are welcome. Be sure to attend the pre-ball workshops in the afternoon to get ready to enjoy the evening.
     We encourage you to come in period dress (early 1900s), or dress as your favorite character from the Titanic film. Preregistration is preferred.

New This Year! The ball will be held on the fourth Saturday of the month. We've scheduled a full hour between workshops to provide a more convenient lunch break. If you plan to attend both workshops, you will have time to go out for a quick lunch, or you're welcome to pack a lunch to eat at the Grange.
