    Avast, me hearties! Join PEERS for a rip-roaring evening of dancing, song, and mayhem. The salty dogs of Bangers and Mash will play a full evening of waltzes, polkas, and dashing country dances from the 17th through the 19th century (All country dances will be briefly taught or called). For those of you who need a brush-up in your country dancing, there will be a pre-ball dance class from 7 to 8pm. Formal dancing to the band begins at 8pm. And, of course, there will be dances of The Congress of Vienna, The Jolly Roger de Coverley, and Captain Jack Sparrow's Hornpipe.

    Pirate costume - both period and Hollywood style - is admired, but not required. Come either in your finest 17th, 18th or early 19th century attire or in fantasy pirate costume from any literary universe (or mix and match!). Just be sure to wear shoes or boots you can really dance in!

    There will be piratical musical entertainment, a no-host bar (that means you pay for your own drinks, Mateys!) and a light snack buffet. (As usual, potluck contributions to the boatswain's buffet will be greatly appreciated. We don't care where you got 'em from).
