(At-a-Glance Event Information)

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Hosted by Canton of Northpass - Yonkers, NY

Event Last Modified: February 13th, 2010

Princes and Paupers, Counts and Commoners, Let me beg all to come together on the Feast of Saint Cuthbert for a Day of Dance. Join us as we reprise the An Academy and Ball in the Canton of Northpass, in the Crown Province of Ostgardr. 

Spring will be nearing and our fair lands will be awakening from the darkness of winter.  Our bodies will be warming to the longer days as our souls are inspired by the songbirds and our hearts begin to think of love… So, as before, we will celebrate this with our most joyous of the entertainments that life can offer, we propose a celebration of the beloved joy of Dance.

We offer an Academy of worthy mentors from throughout our renowned Kingdom and from distant and foreign Lands all gathered this day for the lone purpose of sharing the art of Terpsichore. The day will consist of instruction for all Dancers… whether one is most graceful and refined in our art or for those who are more at ease in Armour and Shield. We will also be adding more scholarly discussions for those who live our great art to share one with another! 

To stave off impending Hunger you may avail yourself of Sustenance throughout the day and at the close of instruction we shall fortify ourselves with a light repast before the Revel begins.

We have invited the finest of the Musical Arts from many parts of our fair land and even from those foreign to regale us with waves of Music as we indulge ourselves in a Grand Ball. Our celebration will include offerings of the courts of Italy, France, as well as from the lands of the Kingdom of England.
