    Celebrate the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth at a formal Victorian Ball hosted by the Duke of Devonshire. Dance beautiful rotary waltzes, polkas, mazurka waltzes, schottisches, quadrilles, mixers, and other set dances popular during the time of Charles Dickens, beautifully arranged by Bangers & Mash, the finest band in Dickens' London. All set dances will be briefly taught or called at the ball.

    Mr. Dickens himself (Robert Young) will be the guest of honour and will open the ball with dramatic readings from several of his most popular novels complemented by performances by the Peerless Music Hall. This is a thrilling theatrical re-creation not to be missed!

    Suggested costume is evening dress from the time of Mr. Dickens' active literary career (1837-1871) or modern evening dress. Given the talent of Bay Area costumers, this should be an extremely beautiful costume evening, but, as always, costumes are admired but not required.
