*Our annual Bastille Day Waltz Ball. Always fun.
Saturday July 11th Oakland Veterans Hall 200 Grand Avenue Oakland class 7-9pm band 9-12
*Baguette Quartette is returning again for the fifth time for our very popular Bastille Day Waltz Ball. Many French waltzes, polkas, La Java, Valse Musette. French 'bistro music', great fun. Usually about 250 attend. Bring your beret and French accent. French costume highly appreciated. Baguette Quartette plays many wonderful joyous waltzes that lift the spirit. We are having them include their favorites La Java and Valse Musettes.
Karen Tierney returns again to teach some fun French waltzes and French mixers. She was past member of Danse Libre and co-ordinator for the Friends of Dance at Stanford committee. Classes from 7 to 9pm in Main Ballroom.
*7pm class:* Bal Musette was a grouping of dances brought to Paris from the french country side in the 1920s. It was danced by the working class (costume note!) in the crowded cafes around the location of the Bastille. In the first hour Karen Tierney will be teaching the basics and styling of traditional bal musette; the embrace, valse musette, la java, and mazurka.
*8pm class: *in the second hour combining them into a choreography that will move you from partner to partner. Knowing the rotary waltz will help you to learn these dances with more ease and...be prepared to spin! Please attend the first hour if you are not familiar with the musette dances.
This is a fun event, not to be missed. Very popular last time, with 200 attending and dancing. *"French att****itude admired not required!"*
$20 for dance and class, $12 for students. sorry no discount for dance only, as we have a live band tonight.
