AUTUMN:

The third season of the year, when crops and fruits are gathered and leaves fall, in the northern hemisphere

the winter solstice.

BALL:

A formal social gathering for dancing; enjoy oneself greatly; have a lot of fun.

We welcome English Country dancers to slip into festive array and dance COLORfully together at this year’s Fall Ball. For our community’s spectrum of dancers, Scott Higgs (Philadelphia, PA) has lent his prismatic vision to designing a rich, colorful program. HIs vivid dance and tune palette blends noted favorites of dancers, callers, and musicians, alike, and adds textured strokes and dabs of the unusual, complemented by subtly tinted waltz highlights.

Bringing light to the picture is a re-blended volunteer committee (to date: Joyce Cooper, Judy Rose, Shirley Worth, James Candlin and Alan Winston) with intentions to boldly color outside of the lines. We invite community members ... classicists, romanticists, abstractionists and expressionists; even, perhaps, a few cubists ... to join us in bringing our efforts into focus.

ANTICIPATE:

Regard as probable; expect or predict; be aware of, take action in order to be prepared; look forward to

• A fulfilling afternoon workshop designed to intensify our joy of dancing.
• Time to schmooze (or, snooze?) during community dinnertime held in the hall during the break between the Workshop and the Ball itself:

• A refreshing, rejuvenating mid-evening catered snack blended with time to schmooze (not to snooze) before being drawn back onto the dance floor.
• Snack selections will include sumptuous savories, subtle sweets and flavorful seasonal fruits.
