2002 Playford Ball |
Events:
The Playford Ball is more than single glorious evening's dancing. It's an entire array of events. To begin with, there are many opportunities to learn and enjoy dances for the Ball. Starting in January, our all the local dances in our regular English Country dance series will include Ball dances in their programs. In addition, there are two workshops to teach Ball dances, one in February and the other in March. Finally, there is a Rehearsal dance the night before the Ball, at which we work through the better part of the dance program.
During the weekend of The Playford Ball are many associated activities. Besides the Friday Rehearsal, there is the hall preparation on Saturday during the day, an After-party which will go into the wee hours after the Ball, and a celebratory Brunch on Sunday. Many folk, including our treasured out-of-towners, use the Ball as an excuse to visit, vacation, and catch up with old and new friends.
Some of the events include refreshments or a potluck. See Food Notes at the bottom of the page.
