Join us as we look forward with "great
expectations" to our 21st annual 19th century ball. This
year, we honor Charles Dickens on the eve of the Dickens Bicentennial
in 2012.
The program will feature
dances that were popular during Dickens' lifetime - from 1812
to 1870. Music will be provided by Childgrove with Debbie Jackson,
Anne Ogren, and Martha Stokely.
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 Regency-era or mid-19th
century attire -- or dress as your favorite Dickens character.
Come as Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig, or perhaps the Artful Dodger!
Preregistration
is preferred.
Learn more about 19th
century Ball Etiquette.

more convenient lunch break. If you plan to attend both workshops,
