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 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm 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.
The music will be provided by “Hijinks:” Miranda Weinberg (violin), Carrie Rose (flute), and Kathy Talvitie (keyboard).
