Come to the popular annual Fanshawe Frolic Dance Weekend July 30-31, 2016 featuring…The Victory Bond Ball
The whole Village is turning out to support this “Dance to Victory” First World War event.
Join us as we celebrate the Canadians spirit on the Homefront during the last years of the First World War when campaigns and events were held to sell Victory Bonds. These were the days of rousing marches and one steps, waltzes and even the daring tango!
Period costumes are encouraged but not required, no previous dance experience required. At the Saturday workshops, Dance Mistress and Historian, Mme. Cathy Stephens will teach you all the basic and simple steps you need to know to be able to do all the dances at the ball. Join us afterwards at the village for a country supper followed by dancing to authentic dance music of the era.
Sunday there is more fun at the Family Frolic featuring period music and simple dances that are fun for the whole family, followed by afternoon tea at the Tavern.
Tickets for the whole weekend are $50. plus HST per person. That includes a 2 day pass to the Village, 2 dance workshops, a full country supper, the evening ball and the Family Frolic informal dance and tea on Sunday*.
*Admission to the Family Frolic and tea alone is covered by the $7. admission fee to the Village on Sunday.
