Musicians Pali Matej, violin; Sue Polansky, clarinet; and Robin Russell, piano, will raise our spirits and quicken our steps with their matchless music. \nWe open with the workshop, then a short break, and end with a joyful dance party, in which one good turn deserves another (and another, and another. . .). \n$20 (members), $25 (nonmembers)"

We have a practice session the day of the ball, where most of the dances will be taught. Attending the practice session is strongly encouraged but not required. In the evening at the ball, all dances will be briefed (talked-through) and then prompted for the first few rounds. Dancers wear what makes them feel happy and festive; some choose attire from the 18th or 19th century. \nThe Ball will be played by Reelplay (Robbin Marcus on piano, Dave Marcus on concertina), and special guest Paul Oorts on guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, accordion. \nMusic at the afternoon practice session will be provided by Elke Baker and Liz Donaldson. The session will run from 2:00-5:00 pm at the Civic Center on the day of the ball and is included in the ball admission fee. \nThe Ball is supported by a generous grant from Montgomery County’s Community Access Program. \nMore information can be found on our website."
