Washington Spring Ball (English Country Dance)

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.

The music will be provided by Hijinks: Miranda Weinberg (violin), Carrie Rose (flute), and Kathy Talvitie (keyboard). 

An afternoon practice session will will run from 2:00-5:00 pm at the Civic Building on the day of the ball and is included in the ball admission fee.
