Benvenuto!  Crystal Snowflake Ball enjoys winter in an Italian villa this year.  Come dance the day and night away in Renaissance splendor.  The dances, of course, will not be limited to Italian.  There will be dance instruction all day with the ball in the evening.  Live musicians! 

So you think you can dance? We'll have a bit of a dance competition to add to the daytime festivities.  There will be three categories, beginning, intermediate and advanced dances.  So choose a dance, find a partner or group and start practicing.  The winners of each category will be announced during the ball and will perform for all at the ball in the evening.  No documentation needed but it must be 1st edition Playford or earlier.  ‘Extra points for something new.  The musicians are prepared to play so please state your intentions by 2/13 so we are sure to have music for you.

The theme for all this fun as well as competitions is, of course, “a winter fete at an Italian villa”.  So come enjoy the day.  Mask-making!  Prizes for the best dressed couple!  A subtlety contest!  Games!  A dance museum to tour!  A filling dayboard!  There will be no feast, but a dinner break is planned so that revelers may dine out.  This event will incorporate a morning demo from 10:30-noon, open to the public.  Come early so that we may provide a great participatory demonstration.
