Come and enjoy a community dance in the elegant and romantic spirit of Jane Austen at True Fellowship #52 on February 10. You’ve likely seen this kind of dance in movies like “Pride and Prejudice”.
Internationally-known dance leader Alan Winston is an Odd Fellow and will lead the room through each dance pattern. No experience or partner necessary; it helps to know right from left, but if you can walk, you can dance.
Please bring shoes with smooth, non-marking soles.
Live music will be provided by the Divertimento Dance Orchestra. Doors 7:30, dancing begins at 8:00pm. Period (1790-1820) costume admired but not required; formal or festive wear appreciated. Co-sponsored with the Bay Area English Regency Society.
UPDATE: The event has now passed.
