A few people have asked what kind of dancing we will be doing, since it's a 1912 themed ball. Though it may not technically be correct for the period, here we'll be deviating from "authentic as possible" and we will be doing our usual English Country dancing. Just for the record, we're not big fans of the Patty-Cake Polka. :-) We're still figuring out details of the dance caller and what dances we will actually do, but as we get that figured out we'll try to post what dances we'll be doing with some tutorials so you can be prepared ahead of time - and we can spend less time learning the dances at the ball and more time actually DANCING!
*Edit: I just found out from a gentleman we are considering for a dance caller, and he mentioned that with the beginning of the jazz age at this period, and more "jazzy" dancing, English Country dancing was actually revived in response to that! I thought that was interesting!
