NEXT PEERS BALL

The next of our monthly balls will be the Gilded Age Ball on Saturday, May 6, 2023.

Join us at a spectacular late Victorian Ball at the historic Alameda Elks Lodge Ballroom and Salon. Greenwich Mean Time will play a varied program of late 19th Century dance music, ranging from Victorian rotary waltzes, Viennese waltzes, polkas, mazurka waltzes, and schottisches to quadrilles, contra dances and mixers.

There are only a handful of tickets left, so if you want to attend we suggest you purchase very soon.

Full details on the ball are available at our website at https://peersdance.org/gilded.html

Tickets may be purchased at the same link.

LOOKING AHEAD

Our June event is the Daily Planet Swing Ball. 

Join us at the Daily Planet at a reception and dance party celebrating Miss Lois Lane’s first Pulitzer Prize.

Vintage or modern evening dress is admired, not required (white or black tie optional) and superheroes or heroines or supervillains from any comics universe are welcome.

Sara and Swingtime – Metropolis’ most fashionable band - plays an evening of elegant vintage ballroom dance music (waltzes, tangos, fox trots, Blues, Latin, etc.) and hot Swing of the 1930's and 40's in keeping with the old-fashioned ambience of the city!

Information can be found at the website at https://peersdance.org/dailyplanet.html

 

We don't hold a ball in July, due to the combination of July 4th celebrations and vacations.

 

August is our annual free picnic in Lincoln Park.

And while it's not until November we just want to remind everyone that our most popular event, Le Bal des Vampires, always sells out well in advance.
