Mostly Waltz - A Vintage Sampler

On the first Friday of each month, the LVDS hosts a social dance, open to the public, with live music. Each event includes lots of waltzes, plus an occasional polka, schottische, tango, one-step, foxtrot, blues, or other favorite dance. There is instruction from 7:00 to 7:45 pm on a selected dance topic, then dancing from 8:00 to 10:00. The cost is $6 per person per event (students $3). "Mostly Waltz" is in Performance Hall at ArtsPlace. For more information, call Danby at (859) 420-6780 or send e-mail to jan_pearce@berea.edu.

Our musicians for May 2 are Al White on fiddle and Elise Melrood on keyboard.  Expect some original waltzes and great swing tunes as well as the usual assortment of dances.  The atmosphere at Mostly Waltz is always friendly and informal.  Newcomers are welcome, and everyone gets to dance.

There will be no Mostly Waltz event in July 2008, since the first Friday is Independence Day.

Waltz Practice

On the first Saturday of each month, the Lexington Traditional Dance Association holds a contra dance in Performance Hall at ArtsPlace. Preceding this dance, from 7-7:45 in Studio 3B, LVDS hosts a waltz practice session with recorded music. There is no formal instruction, but vintage dancers will be there to assist one-on-one if asked. A donation of $1-$2 is suggested to cover the cost of the room.  Questions? (859) 420-6780 or info@lexingtonvintagedance.org
