39th Annual Washington Spring Ball

Come join us for a fabulous time! Doors open at 7:00 pm, dancing starts at 7:30.

The Washington Spring Ball is a joyful yearly event of English Country Dancing to glorious music. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. We have a practice session the day of the ball, where most of the dances will be taught. Attending the practice session is strongly encouraged but not required. In the evening at the ball, all dances will be briefed (talked-through) and then prompted for the first few rounds. Dancers wear what makes them feel happy and festive; some choose attire from the 18th or 19th century.

Afternoon practice session from 2:00–5:00 pm on the day of the ball, at the Civic Building, which is included in the admission fee. The practice session will be called by Melissa Running with music by Liz Donaldson on piano and Elke Baker on fiddle.

Music for the ball will be provided by Hijinks featuring Miranda Weinberg on violin, Carrie Rose on flute, and Kathy Talvitie on keyboard.

Various admission prices (see event on FSGW website).
