The Central Illinois English Country Dancers will be holding their
thirteenth annual Christmas Ball on Saturday, December 15, 2007. The
dance will be held in room 314 of the Illini Student Union, 1401 W.
Green, Urbana, IL, on the campus of the University of Illinois. There
will be a warm up session from 7:00 to 8:00 with a review of the basics
of English country dance as well as some of the evening's dances. The
Ball will follow from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. Fans and finery are
encouraged. Refreshments will be provided at the break. There is a
$7.00 suggested donation to help cover the cost of the Ball. We ask
that dancers wear soft soled shoes to help protect the dance floor and
avoid using excessive amounts of perfume for the benefit of others that
may experience allergic reactions. All dances will be taught and all
lovers of English country dance and music are welcome.
