The Bay Area English Regency Society (BAERS)
< http://www.baers.org >
is pleased to present an Early American dance party
on July 9 in Palo Alto.
(This is our last dance party until September.)
The Bay Area English Regency Society sponsors informal (casual dress) dance
parties at St. Mark's Episcopal Church (600 Colorado Avenue, a block and a half
West of Middlefield, in Palo Alto) on the second Friday of each month (except
January, August, and December).
These dance parties are an opportunity to learn and dance the flirtatious
waltzes, spirited country dances, and vigorous cotillions of Jane Austen's day
(the late 1700s and early 1800s), in the graceful spirit of the English
Regency. Some provide previews of the programs for each of our several annual
Balls; all are fun events in themselves.
Admission $5. All dances taught or prompted, usually by Alan Winston.
Newcomers welcome, no partners required - the custom in Jane Austen's era was to
change partners frequently - live music. Casual dress. Doors open at 7:45;
dancing begins at 8:00 and continues (with a mid-evening break) until 10:30.
Some light refreshments are provided; contributed refreshments are welcome.
BAERS 2nd-Friday dance parties will take August off, then resume
September-November.
July 9 (Special Early American dance party)
Alan Winston leads, Paul Kostka, James Langdell, and Elia van Tuyl play music
for an evening of dances dating between the American Revolution and the War of
1812. We'll enjoy cotillions and longways country dances to sprightly tunes
of the era. No prior knowledge required.
