Holiday Ball
We want to welcome you all to our Holiday Ball. You all
look so wonderful this evening. We have a lot of things planned for your
entertainment. There will be dancing, carol singing, the burning of the Yule log
and a menu that will suit anyone's taste. So make ready your dance
cards and prepare to escort your partner onto the dance floor.
The order of dancing usually begins with a march, then a quadrille, a waltz, a polka, a gallop, interspersed with several round dances and ending with a march prior to supper. You can pick up your dance card for the evening below and it will differ slightly from the above. After supper, several dances will follow until the conclusion.
The buttons below will take you to the sections pertaining to Victorian balls. Below the Holiday Ball Menu
