Saturday, February 4 = Peers presents the Dickens Bicentennial Ball, a Victorian dance in honor of Dickens' 200th birthday. Held at their usual venue, the Masonic Lodge of San Mateo, where lessons are at 7 and Bangers and Mash play at 9 (note later time than usual; there is a theatrical bit first). Dickensian costume admired but not required. $15 advance / $20 door
Tuesday, February 7 = Our next series in Int/Adv waltz begins. This month we will work on spins and turns, including who turns when, how to tell how many turns to do, and exercises to increase your spinning abilities
Saturday, February 11= East Bay Waltz, held at the Finnish Brotherhood Hall, 1970 Chestnut St @University Ave, Berkeley. 7pm is a lesson Rotary waltz with Bob, and at 8pm a lesson in Lindy with Christophe (note just one room of lessons this evening). 9-12 is the dance party with DJ Sam, playing waltzes and I'm guessing polka and swing and other stuff. $12 for class and dance, $8 after 9pm.
Friday, February17 = Big Lou's Polka Casserole plays at Schroeder's, 240 Front St (near the Embarcadero Bart), San Francisco. 6pm-9pm, $7 cover, and then of course you can buy German dinner and/or beers.
Saturday, February 18 = The Cyprians Ball, brought to you by the Bay Area English Regency Society. A popular event full of Jane Austen era set dances and a few waltzes in between. Held at the Alameda Elks Lodge, 2255 Santa Clara Ave. Costumes admired but not required. $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Alan Winston will be teaching and calling the dances as they go, but if you're new they have practice lessons and dances to get you ready for the ball.
