SUMMARY:Wonderland Ball
DESCRIPTION:The Wonderland Ball will be a whimsical evening of historical dancing. Elegant attire inspired by Alice in Wonderland\, historical dress\, and historical “fancy dress” are encouraged. Light refreshments will be served. No partner is required and beginners are welcome! The event will be held in the stately and historic Andover Old Town Hall\, which is perfectly situated for a pre-ball dinner at one of Andover’s many excellent restaurants. Public parking is available throughout the town center. The Andover Commuter Rail Station is within walking distance of Old Town Hall. \nDancing will include a mix of contra dances\, quadrilles\, and round dances (often called “couple dances”). Contra dances and quadrilles are done by many couples together arranged in long lines\, squares\, or circles around the ballroom and do not require any special footwork – just walking! These dances will be taught throughout the ball\, and will be the majority of the program. We will also teach a selection of the evening’s dances at the afternoon workshop for those who want to give them a try. All dancing will be done to recorded music\, so you will be able to practice to the songs you’ll dance to in the evening. \nThis event is presented by The Footwork and Frolick Society\, a non-profit educational organization focused on 18th and 19th century dancing and amusements of all kinds. Tickets are available at multiple price points: $35 student/$45 standard/$65 supporter and can be purchased at https://www.footworkandfrolick.org/upcoming-events/wonderland-ball
