Dancers not registered for the weekend may also attend by paying $20 for couples or $12 for singles ($6 for students) at the door. This ball will be proctored by Richard Powers using his selection of recorded music. We will enjoy dances from several vintage eras, from the 1800s to the early 1900s, as well as contemporary music. No costuming is required, but change your T-shirt or leotard for something more dressy and festive. For the greater enjoyment of all, please come with a dancing partner.
