Get your Holiday Season off to a Magical Beginning: You Are Invited to...
Take a trip to Olde England in the mid-19th Century, a time of Dickens and his famed A Christmas Carol and join us in dancing and merriment in Fezziwig's Ballroom!
Classic Christmas tunes, Old Favorites, Waltzes, polkas, Swing and more!
Live and DJ'd music. The music will be tunes to dance to — songs remembered, our special favorites, and perhaps a few tunes reminiscent of days of old. The talents- Julie King on piano and Karen Iglitzen on violin will play waltzes, jigs, swings and more for our live music.
We'll have a huge lit and decorated Christmas tree in the middle of the floor to dance around. We'll fill the hall with lights, boughs and decorations to put sparkle into the eyes and lift the heart.
There will be sumptuous treats — savory and sweet — homemade cookies, figgy pudding and some wassail to whet your whistle.
Predance workshop in Victorian Polka — 7:30-8:15
A genteel Polka perfect for a little playful fun!
In Victorian times polka was vastly more popular that waltz and other dances. We will cover both variations where the partner is facing forward and turning variations. Small steps, gentlemen!
8:15- 11:30 — A enchanting mix of live and DJ'd music for dancing!

Fezziwig was a business man that hired Scrooge in his youth (A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens) and it was the happiest time of his life. Fezziwig was a fair man and at Christmastime it was said "That he knew how to keep Christmas well" which included a party for his family that included his employees. Fezziwig was a jolly man and was know to eat well and dance! » wiki/Fezziwig
