The Bay Area English Regency Society (BAERS)

is pleased to present
a Regency era dance party Friday, March 9, 2012
Dance like Jane Austen at our casual-dress dance party. All are welcome.
The Bay Area English Regency Society sponsors informal (casual dress) dance
parties at St. Mark's Episcopal Church (600 Colorado Avenue, a block and a half
West of Middlefield, in Palo Alto) on the second Friday of each month (except
August and December). Most months we focus on dances from Jane
Austen's England, sometimes with a side view on Federalist-era America.
Our standard admission price is $10 (although we don't mean to turn you away if
you can't afford it, and you can throw in more if you'd like to be helpful)
All dances taught or prompted, usually by Alan Winston
(an excellent beginner-friendly caller who has led country dancing in 10 states
and two countries).
Newcomers welcome, no experience necessary, no partners required - the custom
in the early 1800s was was to change partners frequently - live music. Casual
dress. Wear shoes you can dance in and that won't mar the floor. Doors open
at 7:45; dancing begins at 8:00 and continues (with a mid-evening break) until
10:30. Some light refreshments are provided; contributed refreshments are
welcome.
